I share the author's general sentiment, but arrived at the conclusion a bit differently. I remember as a child and even a teenager thinking that all of the "adults" knew more than me, were smarter than me, and could solve all the problems in the world. It was up to me to become as smart as them. But once I got older and saw first hand how clueless the "adults" were (in the financial sector, in the travel industry, in software development, in politics) - I began to long for the days when I thought everyone else had the right answer and all I had to worry about was to make sure the teams were fair for football at recess. When you're young(er) and not aware of how things really work and the problems that exist out in the real world, life is good.
