My teaching job has given me a 13-year-and-counting longitudinal slice of the lives of people around 20 years ago: their personalities, abilities, interests, struggles, worries, hopes…. And the longer that slice gets, the more keenly I notice (1) how obsessed the world at large is with these young people, and (2) how grossly the public discourse becomes detached from reality.

It’s a general lesson: your (and my) hot take about people you don’t know is probably embarrassingly ignorant.
