the (new) RESTing bird

“ Slow, patient thinking about hard and abstract questions might have lost its appeal for young people, but that’s not to say that the next generation won’t rebel against this one, as have all generations thus far. Recently, at a party, a young woman said to me, out of the blue: “You know, I’m really sick of how shallow and unserious everything is now.” Me too. I find it impossible to be a cultural pessimist though because I can’t imagine the next generation won’t rebel against the trivial, hollow, bullshit that’s charmed my generation. ”
