Not true;

Totally true. Inundated dated with information, drawn to the negative and more biased with fewer critical thinking skills

Critical crisis

quote:

---

the ability to reason, think critically, and problem solve has actually been dramatically reduced in recent years.

This thread makes it easy to spot the old dudes. Thanks.

What constitutes practical knowledge has changed.

What constitutes critical thinking has not.

The frick are you talking about?

can you not read?

I was using “we” to cover the entire generation. While I’m disinclined to give an exact number, I’m in my early to mid 30’s.

if you are in your mid 30's you did not grow up in a post 9/11 day.

See above. And in my anecdotal experience, even the younger members of my generation are whipping your asses.

my arse? im mid 30's and probably your boss. you sound like one of those douchebags who acts like you are so high up yet you are still a pencil pusher.

unless im an outlier i dont agree. because i have a wealth of useless practical knowledge.

I think this is part of the problem. Awash in information however so much of it is false, it's difficult to distinguish between the good and bad

I've got two millennial daughters who are very intelligent but pretty naive regarding the ways of how things work

I've worked with some amazing young people, it's definitely not all

quote:

---

What constitutes practical knowledge has changed. Generation 2 will always have less practical knowledge by Generation 1's necessarily archaic standard.

this is true. i dont agree with any of rogers stats except for the problem solving. BUT with the wealth of knowledge at our fingertips today there isnt a need to know off hand how to do everything a Renascence man would know how to do. If i need to know how to fix a fridge, you can google/youtube it. Flat tire, look it up. do i want to raise bees, boom, my phone can tell me everything i need to know as if i went and spent a year with a beekeeper.

so according to rogers old ideology of "problem solving" yes, there has been a reduction. but if you were to test each person in their own realm, the millennial would whoop the shite out of other generation because of the access to the knowledge to do anything.

It's ultimately a flawed comparison though. You are much older and more experienced than your daughters. They have time to develop more wisdom. You're jumping to conclusions

Absolutely not.

Kids 40 years ago had to grow up faster, learn survival skills, take care of things around the house, autos etc.

They learned how to apply knowledge across all lines to make things happen, because they had to in order to sustain themselves

The "age of adulthood" is now in the mid 20s. Critical thinking is less necessary now and we're losing those abilities
