Yeah, that was what I think, which means our kids are doomed! I got that in a text from my 15 year old grand son-lol! Since my granddaughter entered college a few days ago, she has been communicating with me much more. I think she is lonely! She took a course in the ancient Greeks, which surprised me. I want to think it was because she knew how highly I regarded their thinking? We talked a lot about them and existentialism. She asked me about Camus once. She was assigned "The Stranger". And when I went to explain the Allegory of the Cave to her, she said:" I studied that in high school-lol" I said:" never mind-lol'
