This one little paragraph just explained my mom, myself, and the reason the relationship between us is so contentious.
She grows ever more closed-minded every year, while I attempt to learn a new skill every year. We never saw exactly eye-to-eye, but we’re now at a point where we might as well live in different universes. :(
This exactly describes me and any family member over 50. About Every single one is sucked into FOX brainrot. I can think of 1 relative out of 30 that actually has clear thoughts on societal issues.
With my own father and some others I know, I feel like the problem is less with being unable to learn new things than with being unable to unlearn things either which are no longer valid, or which were never valid but it should have become increasing obvious.
