- derleth 14y ago> Are you saying this is a bad thing? No, I'm saying it's a new thing. This kind of continuity hasn't been anywhere near this accessible before.
- ImprovedSilence 14y agoYeah, but I feel the fact that culture shifts this fast is also a bit of a new thing. For most of the entire rest of human history, technology didn't change as much in a 10 year period, let alone in 1-3 generations. Hence elders were held in great regards in most societies, probably because their accumulated knowledge never became obsolete in their lifetimes.
