Regarding the Senior Citizen Roulette poll, I chose to comment rather than select "stick with the seniors" because I wanted to explain. First, while the teen roulette might be humorous at first, I doubt anything actually useful and interesting would come of it due to the fact they are simply inexperienced in life with a head full of Tik Tok. Unless you are talking to teens living on the streets, in which case it seems it would mostly be sad and horrifying.
"Head full of Tik Tok!" haha. You're probably right about the teens, Mark. The key, of course, would be to come up with some really good questions. But for the life of me I can't imagine what they might be.
I’m sad some folks think teens don’t have interesting things to say - my teen and his friends are hilarious and surprising, full of insight and fresh ways of looking at things. And yes, grunty and stroppy and video-game addled too 😂 but it’s for sure worth a go asking!
Thanks for the encouragement Utpaladhi. I'm a big fan of teens myself. I think of all humans they are for sure the funniest. Would love to hear if you have any ideas for questions I could ask them!
Neither. I hire teens for a living at my workplace (we have over 200 teens). The quality of thought is pretty low, because they are kids and are over influenced by social media. There are of course exceptions, but they are exceptions. And yes, I was a funny teen, and had a lot to say. Most of it was idiotic in retrospect. I think someone with some miles on them has more to say about reality; kids, in general, only repeat what they just saw on TikTok without any sort of appraisal. Repeating things they "know are true" which they will look back on and shake their heads, thinking, "Well, that was dumb." People grow and the quality of their thought improves. I have belief in the future because people grow up and get some experience and align their thoughts with reality. Which is why listening to the seniors is both interesting and entertaining.

what, you don't believe in the future, or you'd be too depressed by the answers?
