Agreed LogicJunkie!!, I'm 19 and let me tell my generation is finished!! when your generation uses tampons and soak them up with alcohol and stick them in their asses to get drunk that way you lose hope, when your generation wants to party all the damn time and doesn't want to address real world problems that disparately needs to be addressed, you lose even more hope, its truly sad..

[TheLogicJunkie]

Now let me ask you this, because I honestly don't know the answer:

Is your generation like that because they grew up so spoiled and pampered that they've never had to develop real character, or is it the exact opposite, that they grew up so insanely neglected in some critical way or ways that compels them to fill the void with any activity that makes them experience a powerful feeling of any sort?

Good points on Idiocracy. I love that movie. Even my wife who normally hates crude movies laughed at it. But do see how society is getting dumber.

[TheLogicJunkie]

I would say it's even worse than society merely getting dumber -- I say that society has actually been conspired to have an "apartheid of intelligence", whereby a select clique possesses most or all of the intelligence and critical knowledge, and everyone else breathes with their mouths open and stares at the wall.

[trewells]

It's like I posted on one of your other videos last week, the movie "Idiocracy" is spot on!

[TheLogicJunkie]

Yes, you're exactly right. But even Idiocracy isn't sinister enough, because there would have to be a shadow techno-elite that secretly controls and maintains technology from behind the scenes, in that movie. After all, those brain-dead apes still have the use of some very sophisticated high technology, and who's maintaining THAT?

So, either they're all stupid but there are hidden smart people, or some of the stupid people are only PRETENDING to be stupid. ;-)

YES YES YES!!!! I feel the same way! I'm 17 and I look at all the lower ages and I honestly believe that they're becoming dumber. Especially in the black community. It's the same cycle of dysfunction. I shouldn't have to tell a 20 yr old mom to not leave her toddler alone in the house, while she's at the club. It all just feels like a downward spiral of dysfunction.

[TheLogicJunkie]

Yeah, that's true... and also, for me, very often I'm content when I have no stimulation around me but a moonlit beach at night, nobody else is around me, and I can just walk and walk, and it's nothing but me, the clouds and the waves splashing on the shore.

[k5lta]

@TheLogicJunkie I think its a combination of both.

you should see the episode of southpark named " Your Getting Old" were everything to him sounds like shjt and is getting tired of life lol

[ihatepokemon12]

omg ur hit the nail on the head when u mentioned the video game analogy, I completly understand u on that

[lamiasubs]

Hey man quick question..why can't I stream all of your videos on my iPhone? :(

[InvisibleFriend77]

Movies are the same! People are the same! Their conversations are the same! There must be more to life to experience than this!

Um so I kind of agree to an extent. From time to time yeah things get repetitive. No there is nothing new under the sun yada yada yada. What you call obvious is obvious to a lot of people. There are a lot of kids that aren't doing tricks on ramps with bikes because they don't want to get hurt. The same themes in music and movies will repeat. But think of it this way. How many letters in the alphabet? How many words in the english language? Life still offers great variety.
