>World of Warcraft
>Released Nov 2004
Funny to think that we've entered a period in which games might be trans-generational. Like kids might inherit characters from their parents or something. This would probably never happen in practice, but it's funny to think about.

Other internet shit could be like that, too. I'm on BBSes where some of the users have been registered and active long enough to establish familial lines. They don't, of course; some surely have kids, but it seems that few bequeath much knowledge. The lead developer of the TurboBlub™ Compiler can give his son the wealth of his experience and a leg up in what would then be the family business, but I doubt this happens much, for various reasons.
Politically, decrepit ghouls like ruth bader ginsberg and dianne feinstein only leave office in body bags— literally "over my dead body" presumably because they've mentored no-one to take over their roles. Obviously in these cases it's just as well; they're evil and their works are filth and decay. But a worthy aristocracy can only form in a society in which those fit to lead train their own replacements.
Buildings can burn down and institutions can collapse, but we only really lose civilization when knowledge no longer passes from the old to the young. Or in the case of the west, when all the knowledge that's passed down is retard propaganda.

tldr we centralized the responsibility of educating the young and it quickly became both a grift and an attack vector.

@DaddyO The Rocky movies (the first one at least; I haven't seen the others this millennium and can't vouch for them) is not just a great "guy movie" but a top-notch piece of filmmaking.
