RE: Excerpt from Chapter 1 - I'm writing a book!
In my part of the world (western United States) ...
"Any other examples I can add?"
... I do not know of a greater example than the infamous statement from Richard Lamm, governor of a well known state out here, of the elderly being "useless eaters" who had a "duty to die."
As might reasonably be expected, it stirred up a "firestorm" of controversy ...
One aspect of the hypocrisy of people like Mathus can be simply stated. Given their focus on humans being a "plague" on good ole "Mother Earth" and, therefore, needing to die, you would think they would jump at the chance (off a cliff maybe?) to "lead by example!" Right? 🤷♂️
NO, no, no, noooo ... "YOU" need to die! "ME?" I'm good!! 🙄

The natural role of the elderly was to teach the youngest. To pass the knowledge, the lifetime experience, traditions, memories, a sense of connection to ancestry, etc. To help the next generation establish their roots. To become strong.
Severing that connection seems kind of useful to certain ends.
