YOUNG people are materialistic, optimistic and "untroubled by ideas". They aim for a car, job, house, and kids. They confuse globalisation with global warming, and show little interest in matters outside their own material welfare. Even the university students are neither "intellectuals nor contemplative".

Young people. Despite all the wanker-replies on the letters page, I think it's quite accurate for the generation as a whole. They (we?) just don't care.
