Agreed. At that age, I was doing things normal people valued: Starting a family, starting a company, and spending time outdoors. Each of the three contributed to a sense that my life meant something. I was a good enough parent to pass those values on to my children, each of whom accepted those values.
Getting a high score on Candy Crush, League of Legends, or Fortnite cannot compare. It's easy to see why they withdraw into Mommy's basement and turn to drugs, if they cannot find something to do with their lives that matters. It's even to see why they buy into the fantasy that they are superheroes saving the world by recycling, or reducing their "carbon footprint", or marching for "trans rights" to share a restroom or changing room with little girls.
I had a woman co-worker a few years ago that would sit all day and bitch out her live-in son that wrecked the car, wouldn’t mow the lawn, and ton of other crap. I got tired of it and one day told her, “If he were 16 I could understand your problem. But if you have a 28 year old that you can’t get out of your house, the problem is YOU.”
