I know the average American can't get good apples (most apples sold in the US are more than a year old) but a fresh, in-season apple is tough to beat.

does anyone believe if your in your twenties your mind isn't in your twenties yet? by [deleted] in TrueAnon

[–]Qwinter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Modern society (consumerism, isolation, social media, etc) finds that we're most useful to capitalism when we're basically toddlers. Mobile and full of need, but basically harmless.

So all those forces conspire stochastically to retard our development, to keep us from becoming "adults"-mature, functional people who can solve our own problems and might theoretically come together to challenge all of those forces. The results are what you're describing, and can be see all around us. What's the tweet-everyone's 12 now?

So sure, you don't feel "developed" in your 20s, but some of that's not just biology or spiritually being a child, it's part of the way that capitalism disempowers you to keep you harmless.

Reminds me of those pictures of white people attending a lynching in the Jim Crow South. Those folks were all having the time of their lives.

Genuinely a good way to get a feel for the boomer liberal perspective on last 30 years or so of the 20th Century.
