So-called fortune babies fall into three camps, as they go thru the sequence of growing up:
1) The hopelessly ignorant and brainwashed.
2) The "just going along with it, so as to not create any waves" kind.
3) The ones that have had enough and get out.
Some only go thru two steps, like 2 --> 3 or 2 --> 1, etc.. Some are perpetually stuck in one category (either 1 or 2). I had the (mis)fortune of going thru all 3, in sequence.
The one described above, by Yzak, falls into category 1. Here's another in the same camp (I've posted about her before here, just because she appears to be the only one dumb enough to go on YouTube about it) [www.youtube.com]. (Hang onto your lunch, if you can, as she humbly describes being a "fortune baby" and her huge benefit of overcoming eustachian tube dysfunction and getting her first job out of college. Quintessential confirmation bias experiences.)
Those kids in the sgi-usa-media clip are destined for the same. Having walked in their shoes, I really feel for them. I agree, this kind of stuff should be outlawed.
