First, who did taught them about all that, that annoys you? Secondly, maybe try seeing more people under 30 regulary with an open mind. I am sure you will eventually find someone not engaged with that. Just like you can find people over 3

Oh for sure. When you get old, you want more comfort(or have a family to feed) and more comfort comes with more money and more money comes with loosening up some ideals.

That's an oversimplification. If you look closer, you might find that most living things are mostly living in symbiosis with their surroundings. Your human body is an example of cooperation of simple life forms. And when those living c

For all practical matters, I think it can be considered infinite. (And the theoretical limits might not be fixed either) But the question is always, how much of that is within our reach. Currently nothing out of earth on an economical base.
