>>14374785Buddy, the real midwit take is thinking you can fix any of this on a large scale. The root cause of teenage demoralization is a clear lack of community and fulfilling connections with others -- causing them to opt out of being a part of a society that rewards them with nothing for playing their part. Class is irrelevant; and down the line most people realize one of two things:
1. They wasted their time, and the kids were right. They should've spent more time with the people around them, instead of the empty priorities the passing zeitgeist gave them.
2. They wish they aimed higher, and weren't so cowardly -- implicitly understanding they've lost parts of their soul for material gains.
I've been a part of, and an observer, of all the classes: the lack of community and deep relationships with those around them transcends class. It's much more present in the middle classes, because the priorities within are about appearances, and less reality. This is the class of deceit and viral lies. This is the class of "intellectuals" and career navel-gazers. This is the class who has abdicated their senses to some other authority.
The class that sends their kids of to some prison-lite "education" center to be taught lies and falsehoods, and whatever is currently in fashion; learning no skills, unlike the lower classes that (if their parents are still sharp) learn mechanical skills that lead to competency, and greater employment, or the upper classes (if their parents are still sharp) who learn how to bullshit, talk with utter confidence, and walk around like they own the place.
By virtue of even being interested in /sci/, you are a midwit, and almost definitely from the middle or high proletarian classes.
The issue is cultural, and the fate of each child is completely up to him or herself, and the parents (and what family, if any exist) that spawned it.
