statistics are meaningless to the individual, and every "generation" has major social deformities that are detrimental to society and the country, even Earth as a whole.

i've hired 18 year old jackass yoloswag kids and worked with 50+ year old racist-ass dudes with no contemporary world view.

i'll take the little jackass any day of the week.

What happens when those who don't care about statistics run out of good individuals to choose from - because they ignored the signs that only statistics can show?

then you start looking in other places.

there's a fine line between patterns and statistics. are we talking about numbers or good character judgment?

you're one of those judge a book by the cover types, aren't ya?

the question wasn't about other generations social deformities,
it was what was said about ours.

i agree with you entirely about that
but what he said from my experience is pretty accurate.

Let me give you an easy example of why you're right about that.





Sometimes the book's content is all over its cover - and a book's cover is becoming an increasingly viable way to judge inner character with how narcissistic and superficial this society is becoming. Many people are now so predictably eager to display whatever virtues they want to signal using their: Apparel, hairstyles, even mannerisms. To be honest, at this point I have to ask how old you you?

You sound like you're quite out of touch and naive, if you haven't gained the ability to quickly judge a person by his or her "cover" by now. This is a standard ability that almost everyone has now and the idea that people are so much deeper than their surface appearance is a very outdated concept that has been long debunked. Of course, this doesn't mean that you automatically mistreat someone based on your prejudice. It just means that you are able to use statistics and probability to quickly prepare yourself mentally for how to deal with the type of things this person is most likely to throw at you - if they surprise you by being an outlyer, that's okay too.



Also to answer your question about statistics - I'm talking about the statistics which can determine how likely it is that you will be able to easily attract workers with good character in the future.

At the rate of societal decline, it will be extremely unlikely that within the next decade.. you will be able to even find individuals who aren't going to be narcissistic, brainless, lazy and entitled. Especially when talking about lower level jobs, like admin assist or Mcdonald's burger flipper. The turnover rate for jobs like these for reasons of bad character (SHows up late, has an attitude, living at home so doesn't give a fuck etc.) is unbelievably high with this generation.

Voted #1, Sinek is indeed spot on with what he's saying and its hard to argue otherwise. Guy in #2 had a few valid points but overall he seemed to be stretching to find flaws in Sinek's words, as if his perspective was limited to personal interpretation and not the bigger picture.

Nice find Tear, that first video is something I would like to show quite a few people.

my thoughts exactly.
hes taking it too personal and acting as if it was a personal attack on HIM being a millennial, rather than seeing the bigger picture and seeing the very clear problem with todays youth.

np dude

What's worse, is that millions of millennials will watch this and go "YEAH! SEE!!?"


That's another huge problem with today's generation. Technology makes it far too easy to be a faceless supporter behind one charismatic speaker, while still making him an absolute hypocrite by being the very thing he's saying doesn't exist. So many lazy, entitled millennials go undetected under the shadow of memes like this. As long as someone who is charismatic enough to make a good debate on their behalf exists, no individual has to get called out for what a miserable failure they are.

parents today want to be their kids best friend, in a result of giving them what they want to make their own life easier.
when in reality you should be a parent, and not your kids friend (loosely speaking ofc), until he or she can understand morally whats right and wrong, and have learned a good set of skills like discipline, respect, honesty etc.

hell kids today are having kids just so they can take pictures and post them to IG or fb... getting married and having babies seems to be a big trend right now, rather than actually logically planning for such a life changing event.

I don't want to circle jerk too hard here, but I feel like its also worth noting that you're a perfect example of how you can judge a book by its cover, as I said to Wretch before. It doesn't seem like a coincidence to me that you have good ideas in your head and seem to be of solid character, but are also jacked as fuck and handsome / generally successful. Quite contrary to what the majority of those protesting in the streets might appear like.

Seems like what our society is going through is a war to decide if we will still appreciate those who have worked for what they have, or not. Those who have failed at life are fighting (More like whining) for the right to still be heard and have an opinion and seem to be doing everything in their power to diminish the significance of the accomplishments that the successful have made for themselves.
