Speaking as the “Dean” (oldest surviving member) of this distinguished mostly geriatric community, I think respect goes both ways, or it goes nowhere. So, those of us who seek to command respect must be prepared to give it, particularly to such memes as OK Boomer, which I think expresses quite aptly an impatience with anybody who asserts old knowledge just because it is old. I, of course, am Pre-boomer, a Silent. If a meme were started, “Be silent, Silent!” I would resist it (obviously) but I sure as hell would respect it, and try to mine it for its implicit content. <br></p><p class="qt-MsoNormal"> <br></p><p class="qt-MsoNormal">I quite like my status as Dean, by the way.

My feeling is that corrosion and destruction can often arise as part of a creative process. Age demographics in politics in the United States, to my view, are pretty off balance. My personal plan is to help cultivate a different one. Nothing against old people, of course, but in the next elections I plan to rank choice not by party but simply by age.</span></span></span><span style="color:rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span class="font" style="font-family:"Verdana", sans-serif;"><span class="size" style="font-size:12pt;"></span></span></span><br></p></div></div></div><div><br></div><div>.-- .- -. - / .- -.-. - .. --- -. ..--.. / -.-. --- -. .--- ..- --. .- - .<br></div><div>FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv<br></div><div>Zoom Fridays 9:30a-12p Mtn UTC-6 <a href="http://bit.ly/virtualfriam">bit.ly/virtualfriam</a><br></div><div>un/subscribe <a href="http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com">http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com</a><br></div><div>FRIAM-COMIC <a href="http://friam-comic.blogspot.com/">http://friam-comic.blogspot.com/</a><br></div><div>archives:<br></div><div>5/2017 thru present <a href="https://redfish.com/pipermail/friam_redfish.com/">https://redfish.com/pipermail/friam_redfish.com/</a><br></div><div>1/2003 thru 6/2021 <a href="http://friam.383.s1.nabble.com/">http://friam.383.s1.nabble.com/</a><br></div><div><br></div></blockquote><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div></body></html>
