I have heard this ever so often that kids (read society) will figure it out and this-is-all-part-of-the-evolution song. Not to be a pessimistic parade on this outlook, but this attitude is not helpful at all. It feels as if the burden of proof is left on someone who has no mental model of this emerging world to figure their livelihood on.

Sure, people say this is how they felt in their teens too, but the wealth inequality now makes many avenues of income less worthwhile.

Kids might still figure out after all; but do not make it sound as if it is no big deal.

Why the fuck should it be up to the kids to figure it out? We're the ones executing.

Sorry, did you read the article? I understood the premise as whatever the society evolves to, the kids will figure it out and will be alright.
