People have been complaining about younger generations since forever


If you’re going to quote Socrates in a discussion re: decline of intellect, at least get it right.

Thanks for the confirmation of the decline in critical thinking.

Socrates never said this

The quote is from a 100+ year old dissertation on the complaints about young people from ancient times. And this somehow disproves my point that people have been complaining about younger generations since ancient times?

quote:

It was crafted by a student, Kenneth John Freeman, for his Cambridge dissertation published in 1907. Freeman did not claim that the passage under analysis was a direct quotation of anyone; instead, he was presenting his own summary of the complaints directed against young people in ancient times. The words he used were later slightly altered to yield the modern version. In fact, more than one section of his thesis has been excerpted and then attributed classical luminaries.
