I find that this is the first generation of children I'm starting to find that is more wise than smart. They know more things, but less "why" of why things are done and they'll challenge those things without knowing why they're challenging things.
Wise is learning from the mistakes of others. Smart is learning from your own mistakes.
We have so many rules and why you need these safety features now, but the kids are basically like, "Eh, it'll never happen to me. Or I'll respawn. Or, are we sure this is truly why we do this?"
