Hey, I remember playing sports growing up, if you didn't win you lost, there were no trophies for 3rd place (there was for 2nd, but it was considered back then to be the 1st loser). Then it seems the kids growing up a few years behind me get told they're special, and there are no winners or losers... BULLSHIT. Get into the real world- the winners are guys like John D. Rockerfeller, Trump, John Noveske (RIP), the Haliburton execs, and the losers are the guys you see at the corner of Auraria and Speer with the signs asking for money. So I agree with the sentiment, the youth has this over-inflated sense of self-worth and self-opinion... It makes me sick. If you're so great how come you don't have a job?
I think the over inflated sense of self worth and self opinion are because society has created this machine that tells you, goto school, goto college, you'll get a great job and everything will be fine. When in reality colleges were institutions created to convey wealth from one generation to another not to create wealth as they will have you believe (There's a reason ivy league colleges cost so much). Middle class america has been sold a lie. There are only so many seats at the table.
