Daniele Scalea interviewed on RadioRadio by Francesco Borgonovo comments on Repubblica's report on Generation Z youth discomfort after covid restrictions.
"Who would have ever expected this?" sarcastically quips Borgonovo, who then asks Scalea what he thinks would be the explanation for so much malaise among the young and very young:
"One of the most propagated ideas among young people is that the world is going to end and that they are all going to die because of climate change," Scalea replies, suggesting as a solution to stop ecoterrorism: "Continuing to talk about the apocalypse is not really the ideal way to bring them up peaceful," but then also countering the instupidity of the younger generation: "There are numerous studies showing that there is a cognitive decline in our age, and this is reflected in the increasing inability to make connections, to compare two phenomena and be able to classify them. This perhaps also explains why we often advocate one thing and the next day complain about the effects of that same thing without realizing the contradiction."
