It is quite long but it provides a wonderful explanation as to why boomers just don't get it. They live in a hyper reality where "Reality has no authority on their signs and symbols that give meaning"
I saw an OP post the article again recently and commented on how they showed it to their Mum who basically processed it, said some gibberish and went back to her preconceived ideology which dictates her frame of the world, and how she parses events.
So OP from that thread, you're mum's in a hyperreality and can't hear you.
An older way of summing it up would be "You can't teach an old dog new tricks"
OP's first mistake was discussing this with his mom. Women don't want the responsibility of picking a restaurant for dinner, much less dooming society. No shit she's going to default to her Boomer herd consensus.
Now Boomer men, they saw this happening first-hand, but never felt the need to stop it because they were grandfathered in. Their jobs were secure. It's purely "fuck you, got mine" for them.
