“...how do we unteach the younger folks...”
******************************************************
That’s a pretty hard thing to do. Can’t say “Now, listen here ya young whipper-snipper...Ya gotta un-learn all that garbage!!!”. Sort of like Archie Bunker trying to get ‘Meathead’ to see his point of view or my father trying to get his rebellious son to “Fly right, young man”.
I believe that your last sentence (”Perhaps we can’t just tell them - we have to show them.”) comes from the wrong person. Once “we” give them the right tools...THEY have to show themselves.

Well, I think they’re being “shown” right now.
They buy gas, groceries, pay rent etc....inflation, shortages, “supply chain issues”. They’re old enough to remember the “good old days” of just three years ago.
They probably ARE starting to realize that this “new normal” sucks, and need to be told things can be turned back around....again.
