Are all baby boomers like this? I mean like, Jesus Christ, he literally cannot parse factual information if it's presented in an angry and aggressive tone (unless it confirms his own pre-existing biases). It's like he doesn't know how to distinguish what's correct from what feels good.

Anyone else ever run into this problem when trying to educate baby boomers?

Neither can you, so I guess I see the family resemblance.

Since I can't tell whether white or yellow is the TC or the uncle... i have to agree

Why go out of your way to be angry and aggressive though? Do you feel like you cant communicate with him another way because it seems like he is sensitive to insulting statements and harsh tones, if that is how he is he isnt gonna change just because you disagree with him

Youre applying this to baby boomers when you can see it happening daily here with the youngest generation. People are unable to read past what they perceive the emotion of a response was to see what was actually said.

True. But I still dont want the heat that comes with saying BotW wasnt a 10/10 game.

yeah that is certainly something that is only applicable to the young and only in this modern era and not all of human history

just a really brilliant post all around, congratulations on producing it

You've just described 98% of the human race, from the dawn of time until today.

Including pretty much everyone on social media. Which includes you.

No, but I've certainly experienced it while talking to Millennials and Zoomers about pretty much anything.

I didn't insult him. Some atheist YouTuber named Dusty insulted racist Republicans.

I wasn't being angry with him myself. I just showed him a YouTube video with a commentator who was being a bit on the aggressive side.

But ya, that's a pretty good video - Dusty has calmed down quite a bit.

I recommend Suris' video on the subject
