Kids will be kids…
There comes a time in every generation, and in every person’s life, when doing what you are told becomes a very real struggle. As we develop into adulthood, we are faced with periods where we experience an undeniable urge to deviate from expectations. These phases of life become almost cliché for the level of angst they contain, and adults of every generation learn to anticipate their arrival.
Yet, even with generations of predictability, it seems our institutions and social norms continually fail to predictably mitigate these effects. Time and again, we create for our descendants structures and rulebooks almost designed to fail those who fall under them.
But, by taking ownership of our agency within these structures, we gain the potential to create a more perfect system.
In this episode, we explore the nature of this collective experience, and the mistakes and assumptions behind each of our failures. By reassessing our actions with the benefit of history, we can begin to achieve the wisdom we are meant to attain in our mature years, and become the sorts of people we wished we had known in our own pasts.
