| In the most narcissistic statement you could probably make, don't trust anyone over 30. They were announcing that we are the wisest humans who have ever lived, and they still believe it. | |
| It's astonishing. | |
| And it was all the more annoying then because it went hand-in-hand with the boomer worship of youth. | |
| They thought that you knew more and understood more before you had any first-hand experience of how the world actually works, which to me sounds pretty backwards. | |
| That's exactly right. | |
| And my antidote, I was vaccinated against the boomer thinking by religion. | |
| Because if you take your religion seriously, you know that you trust people over 30. The people I most trusted were over 2,000. | |
| So, it struck me as bizarre. | |
| Did you ever come across, I'm okay, you're okay? | |
| Oh, yeah, good heavens. | |
| That's another. | |
| So, I added this description. | |
| I'm okay, you're okay, America stinks. | |
| That sums it up pretty neatly. | |
| Of course, that slogan never held much attraction for me, because I know I'm not okay. | |
| I need to get better, and I'm trying to get better every day. | |
| Do you come from a religious background? | |
| I do. | |
| I do. | |
| I am an Orthodox Christian. | |
| I attend a Russian church. | |
| Yeah. | |
| You see, it doesn't surprise me. | |
| You wrote a very wonderful book, Boomers. | |
| It's up, folks. | |
| Biographies of various leading boomers in there. | |
| The men and women who promised freedom and delivered disaster. | |
| Helen Andrews, I hope we speak again. | |
| Thank you so much, Dennis. | |
| This was fun. | |
| Good. | |
| Thank you. |
