123 sats \ 19 replies \ @siggy47 13 Jun \ on: Which generation is the most gullible? AskSN
I vote boomers being most gullible. I will fall for just about anything. It's age coupled with lack of familiarity with technology and modern culture.

I agree, even though I think this is the most naive one. After the war, a lot happened and the golden era of peace and prosperity left everyone too comfortable to question what governments were doing. Still, what has happened recently is terrifying. People fiercely defend being even more enslaved, cling to shallow things with no factual basis, and socially condemn anyone who dares to think differently.

Do you feel like people used to be more trustworthy than they are now? As a millennial (I think?) it seems to me that older folks instinctively trust others more than younger folks do, but I'm not quite sure why.

It could be that we have moved from a high-trust society to a low-trust society and they older people haven’t caught on to that fact, yet. If they get burned a few times, they might hone their BS detectors by becoming more low-trust.

I have to agree with that. The high-trust countries I have been to have had very little mass immigration. However, some of the pretty damn low-trust countries have had not had any immigration, either. I think the migration is generally from low-trust to high-trust areas because the high-trust areas have that advantage in doing honest business.

Now that they have incentives to move back, they are. Until now, they only had incentives to come to the land of the freebies.

I don't think so. I think there have always been con men and hucksters. I think as we age our bullshit detectors wear out.

I can figure something out technically and get all proud of myself, and then do a really stupid, embarrassing thing 10 minutes later.
