Isn't it ironic that that concept was already well know and had been discussed for decades, but we keep falling for it and encourage the new generations to "become what they want to be" regardless of the consequences while we also help them to chose meaningless fights against what is simply annoying to us, but harmless in general, reducing the public discourse to bubbles of anger that can only lead to less dialogue and more divisions?
“The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.” – Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, The Dawn, 1881
