Why are young people disconnected?

[mojo]

When asked about history, science, politics, current events, etc, etc, it appears young adults don't have much of a clue what is happening? What is it that they appear to have not much interest in the future of our race? This is not a put down to any social or age class, because we older adults must not be leaving such a wonderful legacy behind.

Maybe you are just talking to the wrong group of young adults.

I have seen my two sons chins since mobile phones and iPod's were made. So I had to let the air out of the football and sell the tennis balls and racquets. Go Figure!!!!

well, it is not the case of mine and her friends, but i have noticed a divise here. Some groups of young are entirely consumerism, while others entirely social and awareness oriented. Not much in between.
But they do respect the fact that they are different, yet from the same generation, on either side.

...appreciate hearing all points of view. I was watching a reporter interview people on the street and the questions seemed easy yet a large percentage didn't know. Which made me wonder why? Technology maybe plays a part in social interactions. For example young people in the same room would rather text than talk with each other, but doesn't explain other types of trivia.

Well my friends are very different then me. I don't use Facebook like they do. For example all they do is getting themselves busy with junk material. All the posts show so much ignorance about everything. Every false flag they not even question the facts they been given. I'm like an alien entity for them when I bring up the issue. In israel if I say that the government is behind ISIS or the killing of civilians by those random Arab citizens that the MSM claim to be ISIS supporters, I'm instantly being ignored cause the guys here are so brain washed by the media...

The young people are disconnected because that's how the NWO has programmed them to be. Many adults aren't connected, either, and they have the advantage of perspective to which to compare the madness. I give the youngsters a pass as they have been brought up in this mess. The adults are the ones who need to have their @sses kicked.


cause the guys here are so brain washed by the media...

ding ding ding!

Not just there.

[Bubu]

I dont know if that can even be considered as a question because the answer is so obvious that my mind refused to spill it out, Perhaps we should be asking "how to connect people?"

Speaking from Canada with 4 teenagers: kids are so busy with school that they don't have time to question anything. In the primary grades a lot of it is just busywork. The older kids are aware just enough to vote for a guy like Trudeau and then they get back to work. These are the kids on a "successful" track as defined by the system that isn't going to tell them it is broken... not as long as they are inside it.

My point of few: there is a difference between having a conversation or answering some random 'facts' out of the blue.
A few years ago I ran into a local TV projects by the students of the town. With microphone and camera. Due to my help for a local charity I somehow (thought) I was used to interviews (for newspapers so far). So I ran into them and they asked politely if they can ask me some stuff.
(For some reason my brain probably already was 'frozen', I thought they wanted to know direction or time. LOL)
So it was about Christmas. I was relieved - I LOVE Christmas and immediately thought about Christmas time at my grandparents place and region.
So I said excited: 'yes' - to the camera sort of - grinning.
About 'traditions'. OK. Still smiling, expecting to talk about 'my Christmas'.
If I know 'Christmas traditions': yes (I saw them flash before my inner eye but couldn't 'say') - so I continued 'but not right now' - still smiling like pro.
To help me out she asked if I know about Christmas trees, where the 'tradition' came from: Yes (phew), (again flashes of when and how and whatever - and again noticing: no way to 'articulate'). So again I continued, smiling: can't explain that right now.
If I know anything else, I might want to share: still smiling, still 'pro': yes, but I am too excited/nervous to say something, I am sorry. Best wishes though.

While walking away I was between 'OMG and still handled it somehow'. Had me laughing and also eyes rolling on myself.:facepalm::bigsmile:
Didn't think much of it though, just announced back home I ran into them and it wasn't useful.

However - they also have a local channel (which I didn't know) - and they still used it. :ROFL:
It was way shorter than it felt standing there (and with muted sound it looked great. LOL)
So I appeared to have known 'nothing' - and by now it wasn't the only time though.

The connection was just weaker. So even I 'know' background, history I don't keep every detail. If someone is interested they can read up.
For example the Christmas traditions. There is a meaning why there are Christmas trees, why the decoration, the change of decoration. When it comes to 'do you have a Christmas tree yet', 'what are you doing on Christmas' - the background, history is 'with me', but I don't start or mention: hey, fun fact - ''we' have them because.....'
Since the interview is still present I noticed just now, it may had inspired me to 'make my own traditions' - which we did.

Regarding young people: I use public transportation as do children/students of all ages (with smartphones too), so its not hard to hear they talk about all kind of interests (because they are loud but rather excited). About topics which include space, galaxies, tech, trains, as also their grades, homework, sleep overs and birthday parties. Also how the smartphone is involved- besides for connection to parents also to keep up homework. Of course they play too, but also 'together'. Giving advice how to have more fun (shared strategies to 'win'). They also meet to play outside. It makes me smile.
And when I was a child not everyone was 'bright' either.
Also to consider - videos or 'broadcasting' embarrassing moments of others generates more attention than 'knowing just stuff' does.
When I was a kid I knew my classmates grades, maybe the grades of some others. I had friends with good and not so good grades.
What mattered were kindness, fun, having the back.

I believe it would take a heroic effort for young people not to be disconnected in the current social structures we live in, specifically with the technological advancements. In the last century we first had the television, then computers and email, then the phones and ultimately texting. Each venue promotes a further division of direct earnest contact. When we come together with another there is a literal exchange of energy that is not present in texting or emailing. Also, attention spans are much shorter, we demand more stimulus to stay involved.

We have had many years of learning to live a life of fragmentation. We don't see things created from start to finish. Even most of our jobs only involve dealing with a fragmented part of the whole. We are denied the satisfaction of a job well done.

I applaud anyone, particularly young folks that can take a sort of holistic approach to life. Two hundred years ago, that was the norm, today I believe it takes herculean effort. I applaud places like EcoVillages that are cropping up. They are mostly young folks consciously directing their lives in another way. A life that is connected.

Too caught up in music, cell phones, videos , sports, entertainment ... People to people relation takes a back seat to smart phones ... They want to hide from reality while claiming to be searching for truths ...

Kids are not adults. For the most part they are self absorbed because they are still growing up. It won't be until they reach an age of responsibility that they reach out and realize they are part of a larger world. It's always been that way.

Keep being yourself 6'er. You can't unlearn the truth but you can reach out like you are doing now. You will find your places in this world, especially if you speak the truth like Limor Wolf has done in your country. You will attract those of the same caliber as you are.

I see that this will change, but it will take some time. Of course it was planned and is planned by all of the money that the entertainment industry gets out of it, by the idiots that profit from all of the industry of farming out human servitude into business and the military. I can't even talk about education, beyond the basics needed in reading, writing, speaking, math and some sciences, because the crap they put into the 'learning' is often useless and has been for decades, centuries. It has no heart and it's product is the world we live in. I can see the criticism from the elders as well as the solutions we, of all generations, provide in our listening and our efforts.

My son, at 21, is very aware of the world and it's systems. Those who are his friends, like those he's meeting now on his stay in another country are pretty much the same as he is. It seems that those who end up his friends come from parents who spend time with them and leave their judgementalism behind, while still living a life of some discipline that you share with them. (Sharing your mistakes, so they don't make them, or as intense as you made them.) Their forays into self-abuse all seem to be short because their love for themselves was nurtured by the environment they grew up in.

When your children are so busy that they have to cram in social time, that is not education at all. Education without application is just a deleted comment. Without the time to assimilate and evaluate those things they have learned, it is a superficial, short term "learning". That is planned. You should know it if you are a parent. You should have a say in how your children spend their day. I get why you leave it up to a school because you are busy. However, it is the way humans have left it for a long time. It is a sad, disconnected and disheartening thing to see. It is your job at least to delegate that education responsibly and have some say in what is taught.

I was a master at short term learning, so much so that I taught my friends the methods to do well in testing and short term memory to get thru it all. I hated school, even while I "excelled". It all can be learned so much quicker and that is part of why they are so stimulus oriented. And, by the way, it's okay to short term learn because if you have an interest in the subject you'll build on the learning and the quick retention will be remembered.

The knowing, the true human, 'this is who we are' stuff, tells them that a lot of the learning is not only superficial, it is dishonest, unscientific or at the least it is a planned sequence of manipulated facts meant to gain your trust, a trust that is not worthy of your consideration. I knew this decades ago because I could see how inhumane it made those who had passed the grade, those who got the degree, those whose careers were dependent upon the system to maintain their lifestyle. When we see many with their heads down and in their devices, understand the constriction they are being drawn into and why.

I knew it when i was "excelling" in high school. When the school held a 3 day testing course to evaluate our tendencies, 'natural' abilities, and 'inherent gifts' I knew it was ridiculous. I told them that I wanted to travel, learn languages, experience different cultures, earn enough to save money and retire early, so the best job would be that of an assassin. They flipped out and I had some fun. They sent in a 'specialist' from my earlier years and my familial connections who knew that I wouldn't sell my soul. It saved a lot of hassle and wasted time on the part of both parties, because I didn't consider myself worth any more than anyone else. That can't be sold or bought.

My answer to the title of this thread is that young people (whilst not all as I am one myself) are disconnected due to the overwhelming bull s**t that we are 'taught' at school. Not only that but everything seems to be so pressurised, people care more about the fear that is pumped through the mainstream media than they do about the actual truth. I have a few close friends whom I may say are gradually awakening but are still brainwashed by the bs fear porn that is spoon fed to them on a daily basis. I for one tune out whenever I hear that silly song from any news station on TV, sadly my family are not awake and my brother whom was born on the same day as me ridicules me for my partially open awakening story, there is a lot that I have yet to even tell anyone about other than my UFO sighting (in fact I have more or less gave up on TV in total considering I use to be addicted to staring at a screen). Now the only things I pay interest in and take pleasure from TV wise is watching films as there is a little truth behind the script.

I remember when I first awoke to the scenario of 'what if everything I have been taught is a lie?'; this was after my unexplainable UFO sighting which I did share with my friends at the time (and Avalon a few months later). Initially these "young people" were interested when I spoke with them individually however after the school holidays when we grouped together these people whom I shared my story with started to ridicule me regarding the subject matter. Even whilst they still believed my story something made them take the mick out of what I had told them. I honestly think that the truth is too much for some people to handle and in my opinion something certainly makes people different when they are in large groups (possibly because these young people are too afraid of being ridiculed from the truth as they have been led to believe in an agenda that suits the brain-washing system). I still have those friends that did take interest in my true story however initially I was open with them, I am not so much now as I feel like I have lost my trust.

I do see a lot of disconnection. If I were to compare with 30-40 yrs ago the kids today have taken a step down. I believe the devices, the intense need to belong so piercing, tattoos, drinking, clubbing and bad choices rank high. They are desperate. I remember my youth and we partied and ran around and had fun without phones or computers but we did talk on the phone a lot, went to concerts, movies read books swooned over celebrities, but we all had jobs and a savings account. Today, kids do not have savings accounts or a window into their future. I see the teens come into our practice and they slouch and are apathetic. Not alive and inquisitive. ( and these are the Christian upbringing ones!) I find they eat all wrong, they infuse their minds with trivia and have fear about school. I can say this. Those kids with a desire for college have a whole different slant on life. My nieces and nephews work hard at academics, sports, music and fun. But those who resign to working a menial job in a grocery store until something better comes along or who is forced to take courses in community college or who only think about having Mommy and Daddy pay their way, lose their aliveness. The gay and transgender community uprising has contributed to a lot of fear and disconnection and anger. The fitting in is a whole lot harder in these times.
