Thanks, I will try to watch for this kind of thing in the future. I think it's an intriguing social problem. Not sure how to improve it, but I can at least try to be cognisant of it in myself. I do feel, if this is accurate, today's kids have it real rough. I wouldn't want to be one.
All of these intergenerational dynamics have sort of had their expected balance of forces slowly change by increased longevity, fewer childhood mortalities, and shrinking birthrates.

@nazokiyoubinbou As a side note, I think this could be a big part of childhood depression rates rising over the last few generations. (Aside from the obvious feedback loop of the algorithmically tuned and targeted depression rectangles in everyone's pockets). As more of the world gets locked down and excludes you, there is less ways to imagine making the world your own as a kid. @dcoderlt
