I usually read young people complain about how nobody told them about something until somehow they found out about it on their own.

Isn't that weird? I mean, that's how it's always been for my own generation, I think. If we were interested in something, we would just dive into it as deep as we could. Did we like movies, music or art? We didn't rely on schools or colleges to tell us what was out there. We searched for it on our own and shared our findings with whoever was willing to listen, because we were passionate about it.

That's why I think it's weird that younger people say things like: “They never told me about that in college!” Well, duh. If you rely on official institutions, you'll get the official version. If you want the truth, you have to put on your helmet and start digging. I thought that was what being young was all about.
