In response to someone whining about "kids today" on another site, I dug out this quote again:

"Our Earth is degenerate in these later days; there are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end; bribery and corruption are common; children no longer obey their parents; every man wants to write a book and the end of the world is evidently approaching.”

It's from an Assyrian clay tablet. circa 2800 B.C.E.

Humans don't change, only technology does.

@EricaFriedman Hm that article doesn't cite its source, but there were no Assyrians in 2800 BC, and this tablet doesn't ring a bell. 🤔
