What are your scientific and sociological credentials?


Don't need them to have an opinion. I am not some random Joe, either, though.

I think it is a joke of a study, lol.


Honestly the boomers are super prone to the misattribution fallacy. They love the "I worked hard fir what I got" line but they were born right after the entire rest of the world got decimated and as a result there were jobs a plenty and virtually no international competition.

I agree with that, but I don't think that makes them sociopaths.

I doubt anybody is arguing that every boomer is a sociopath, but more than they have a greater tendency towards sociopathic traits.

I feel like the real difference between saying they have traits of sociopathy is that we have come along more in emotional development among our culture and people that a previous generation have clear disconnects with it.
