This problem is more common among Boomers than you think. This, along with the fact that they can't even figure out how to link their Email account to their phone. It's pretty pathetic.

How is it pathetic? None of this existed growing up and during the majority of their adult life.

google search is the boomers worst enemy, it obliterates their worldview and their place within it as a wisdom bearing sage that knows about every topic of conversation.
they use their amassed property wealth and huge salaries to justify this belief in their own abilities, realising theyve been bullshitting on easy mode for decades puts them in a rare uncomfortable position as perhaps it maybe wasnt their own brilliance behind their rise.
when youve grown up never beibeing able to be proved wrong, you can spout any shit you wish, it mustve been comfy.

I have to play dumb as fuck around them to keep the peace, its not always worth rocking the boat, its not worth the bother of embarrassing them every time.

They had the opportunity to learn how to use the technology as it was being developed. It was actually easier for them.

Because the Internet has already been mainstream in America for 20 years now and if you haven't figured out how to into technology in 20 years then you're just a fucking asshole. Kek.

This is basically my whole family. My brother is in his early 30s and he has the Boomer disease too. He got lucky as fuck and got a good job only 3 months out of college at this old boys club and he's been there ever since. Meanwhile ive applied to 2000 jobs in the past year and when i tell him this he spouts some stupid bullshit like "its totally normal to not have a good job until you're 30 these days". We don't really talk that much.

There are two digit IQ boomers that have figured this stuff out by now. It's not rocket science. In fact all of the shit that we use is designed to have the easiest UX possible.

[Anonymous No.12467083]

I doubt anyone itt will be in that position, just as not all boomers cant into technology, the difference is innate retardation.
the boomer generation being the first in history where even the most stupid had social mobility to the point they could stay within contact with complex systems throughout their life in a professional environment, anyone being in the workplace of the future at their age will have to compete and thus not be a retard by default.

This is spot on. Like when meat eaters begin researching health and environment impact of meat consumption. Instant cognitive dissonance mode.

Im 35, I lived through the divergence of the population into people who think they know everything and people who know they dont, the difference being those who know they dont know the right answer is available and dont just burst out their best guess as facts.

In the late 90s-2002, you could tell an 'internet person' within a few minutes of conversation, kind of like today when anyone can hear a boomer telling some shit story that isnt true, resulting in quiet sighs.

sounds pretty awful desu, unfortunately for your brother he doesnt live in the 70s or 80s, his time will come if he doesnt adapt.
Boomerism in the young is only tolerated when boomers are in charge, once theyre replaced with gen x anyone who can be replaced by zoomers will be.

Boomers don't think they know everything, they just pretend to know. "Fake it until you make it" for them is "fake it and keep faking it."

Thats right actually, goes back to what I said above, they developed in an age where that was viable, unless you got very unlucky to be around an expert on whatever you were bullshitting.

I know boomers who were being treated for 'impostor syndrome,' believe it or not. These are people in positions of high status who suddenly realize they have no real talent or skills and climbed the social ladder by lying and bullying others. When they realize this, they fall in deep depression (at least those who aren't full-blown sociopaths).

what if they're replaced by 30 year old boomers

lol thats hilarious.
The boomers I work with are actually ok these days and admit ignorance on important subjects, if they need help finding obscure legal documents or foreign laws, they are conditioned to ask for help but they still have their moments, especially when talking about old films or news events from the past any of us can lookup in seconds to shatter.
The company I work for does industrial real estate and occasionally we will meet random boomers who are millionaires by accident of owning a bit of a field but are genuinely retarded, I dont just mean slow at typing or using gmail but actually fucking slow.

Only boomers respect boomer traits, nobody else will put up with it, so they might get lucky and be replaced with another one but the conditions that made easy mode progression the default are long gone outside of government work.

Feelsgoodfren to have a national socialist brother. He is redpilled on so many subjects he instantly btfo to oblivion boomers & zogbots who try to argue with him, he also is in his 30s but alrdy know hundred times more stuff than our parents or any relative for that matter. It blow my mind how much stuff he can remember and integrate, no one compete on the logos ring. Sure he is a poorfag neet 'loser' but man no one even try to argue with him because they can't support being dialectally raped by a 'loser' neet.
I think i couldn't support life having everyone around me being a NPC and no one to speak about things who really matter instead of wii U, dance with the star or the last shit spouted on the talmudvision.

I luv u big bro.
