This will only get worse as new generations are taught to demand immediate satisfaction and to abhore having to work for results. They think they deserve anything for the simple fact they exist and desire it.

Replacing scientists with political activists and learning with political activism in Universities just magnified this phenomenon.

This will make the people with knowledge and ability and desire to do work 100x more precious.

And the markets are rewarding the hard work and knowledge, not anything else.

I am trying to instill in my small kids the desire to learn and the ability to work. It will be a hard fight because I will sometimes have to fight against school, politics and the current norms of some parts of the society. But my duty as a parent is to try to prepare them for the future, to make them winners.
