Every generation believes the next generation is growing up on slop.

I think personalised AI gen tiktok is worse than saturday morning children's cartoons.

Maybe I'm crazy though idk.

I can sit in a group of people my age whom I've never met before and share reminiscences of some slop cartoon we all liked as kids. Sharing culture like this helps social bonding and helps create community, imo.

If everyone's having a personalized childhood I don't know if that will happen as much.

> Every generation believes the next generation is growing up on slop.

"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers."

I heard this attributed to Aristotle, but apparently it's a fabrication. That's too bad because the quote is hilarious. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go gobble up some dainties.
