I confirm that young people exist!
I have some who come to visit. I always have a small proportion in my lectures.
Some, indeed, are brilliant: coming from Sciences Po or from the university of this, and brilliant studies of that, they understood that we are in a dead end and want to "change the world" ... One of the young people with who I am in contact with and who is starting out professionally is of this caliber. He visited. He understood. He formed. And it's settling down.
In different "movements", associations, etc., there is always a certain proportion.
Alas, others, misled by an attitude of "adolescent rebellion" badly ended, go astray. Too "addicted" to Internet stupidities, I fear they will not go far ... Excessive idealism, a sort of refusal to admit that the real world is not and will never be perfect, and that consequently everything is only a matter of compromise (which is not a compromise), they go towards extreme solutions, which inevitably, will disappoint them ... Some will adjust their view and on the strength of this experience, will adapt and will join the first. Others, rejecting solution A, ideal in their head, then suddenly "zero", will remain yoyos and get bogged down in "conspiratorial" thoughts and reject A for a solution B, just as ideal (on the paper or the net) .. And then C ... And then D ... For me, they are easy to identify: I tell a little crudely how I trap mole rats and I see the grimaces ... My passage, in the book, on the simplistic, binary thoughts: 0 or 1, it is perfect or null, was inspired to me by those.
