99% of young people who attack the establishment become part of later on.

no matter how convinced they felt at the time, it was just a phase for them.

i'm 40 and i'm still not a part of the establishment. i wasn't particularly rebellious as a teenager or young adult. my objections came later, so it's more of a Noam Chomsky thing for me.

it's rare that you find older adults who are anti-establishment. what typically happens is that when the system sufficiently rewards people, it shuts them up. maybe i would have shut up too, but this isn't working very well for me as a grown adult, and i'm not alone there.
