Love this, had never heard of it before. My generation drives me mad. 20-30 year olds whose major pursuit in life is frivolity, who complain when they don't have the jobs necessary for them to pursue their frivolity.

We're beyond this: "I must study politics and war, that our sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. Our sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history and naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry and porcelain." And have reached a point where the majority of people spend their time in bread and circuses. God damn it.
