That 39 year old woman anecdote is a strange addition. I know many 20-to-30-somethings that know how to cook. It's far too expensive to constantly eat out nowadays so people know how to provide for themselves in other ways. It sounds like you met a woman that didn't know how to cook and extrapolated that experience into thinking society is over and we're all helpless.

You took "a 39 year old" and felt targeted. Where there's one there's more, it doesn't need to be all to be statistically significant.

Society collapses when the capable are helpless. There's no bandwidth to help the actual needy when enough of the normies need caretaking too.

Old puritans in government and corporate would just lop off the tail but that's actual people who mean something to their useful people.

That's a lot of doom around a potato.
