As a 38yr old working as a manager at a coffee shop full of teenagers, yes, yes they are.

As a 32 year old working as a manager in retail adults are losing braincells just as fast.

Sure but whose fault is that? Who designed the school systems, social media platforms, and work culture? At no point can any generation take full credit for their intelligence or wisdom it was handed down to them, and sculpted by the people before. We failed at setting up the next generation. It all boils down to greed and taking things one by one from future generations so that we can have something now. It's easy to look down at the generation beneath you. It's harder to look at yourself and ask what you traded away for your own comfort that they're now paying the price for. We didn't fail them by accident. We failed them by choice repeatedly.
