somewhat patronizing article was my reaction.
"They are largely unattached to religious institutions."
As if to say, 'one day you will realize what you are missing'. My bet is that people today, in the age bracket he is referring to may never attach themselves to science fiction as fact.
'Yet here is the good news. By age 30, the vast majority are through it.' and 'After a youth dazzled by possibilities and the fear of missing out, they discover that committing to the few things you love is a sort of liberation.'
I abhor the idea that by 30 I should have to commit the rest of (likely the majority of life) to just a few things.
- girvo 11y agoI'm 24, and I really did not read this article as patronising. In fact, I read it as the author actually understanding my life experience thus far rather well. You're not the only commenter that has read it that way, I wonder if I'm too charitable or others are looking for it to be yet another "kids these days" article, of which there are many.
