I'm a high school teacher in Australia, student ages range from 12 to 17.

Social media has so thoroughly fucked with these kids heads, Epstein has replaced Andrew Taint as the 'cool guy'.

Why?

"Because he was a billionaire who hung out with everyone famous and broke all the rules".

He broke the wrong fucking rules, kids.

A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

What do we owe our parents? No man can owe love; none can owe obedience. We owe, I think, chiefly pity; for we are the pledge of their dear and joyful union, we have been the solicitude of their days and the anxiety of their nights, we have made them, though by no will of ours, to carry the burthen of our sins, sorrows, and physical infirmities; and too many of us grow up at length to disappoint the purpose of their lives and requite their care and piety with cruel pangs.

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1880-01/02?), “Reflections and Remarks on Human Life,” § 2.2 “Parent and Child”

Die Generation, die mir beigebracht hat, ich müsse unbedingt wissen, wie man z.B. einen Ölwechsel beim Auto macht („man kann ja schliesslich nichts bedienen, ohne es zu verstehen!!“), ist heute die gleiche, die sich die "Cloud" als flauschige Wolke mit all ihren Katzenbildern drin vorstellt, Browser und Internet verwechselt, Passwörter auf Post-its neben dem Gerät schreibt und mich stets um Hilfe bittet. 🤯

Ich sag nur: Glashäuser. Steine. 🤭 😅
