Shrug, okay, I guess wondering about how being steeped in social media will shape future generations makes me both narcissist and a boomer and condescending?
Alrighty then.
'Wondering' is a conclusion neutral, unbiased exploration of possibilities.
You used the verb 'bet' in your post, as in, you already have a conclusion from that wondering that you're convinced is more likely than not.
So yeah, you got called out for making a prediction that flies in the face of the actual data, because you didn't bother to read that data, and now you are backpedalling via describing your actions with less direct and intentional verbiage than you actually initially used.
You weren't 'wondering'.
Wondering would be done by maybe asking what the potential effects of modern social media are on younger generations, by maybe positing multiple possibilities, then trying to evaluate them all against the same standards of evidencd.
You were asserting. Being willfull.
You've done the first 3 lines of the narcissists prayer already.
Yeah, you seem to be wanting an argument here and doing some armchair diagnoses and are being way more combative than anything coming from me, so....have fun, I guess? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
You're more than just a bit of an asshole.
