    “The kids are alright” does not mean that the world where the kids live is alright, it means that the kids are alright. 😅

      We got THIS close to being done with nicotine and bullshit in the air in daily life, and then the kids discovered vaping.

      At best, the kids are in the aggregate no better or worse than the generations before them. No generation is going to save us from stupid when stupid is part of our species’ DNA.

        Bro. The kids are alright. Not pristine perfect beings who will being about a new era of prosperity.

        Besides, why you putting it on “the kids discovered vaping”? That sounds like something a billionaire would say to deflect from the huge lobbying campaign they made to distinguish vapes from cigarettes.

      To me it means: the kids are healthy and secure, and coping with the world with a reasonable prospect of a good future. But I agree that it’s a good thing that they aren’t entirely duped by the abusers of AI, if that’s what you mean.
