The first link is The Economist article.

Some highlights

Over many years as a lecturer, Mr Hayward grew concerned that his 18-year-old students "resembled less mature teenagers on the cusp of adulthood and more fearful schoolchildren adrift in an alien world of adult autonomy". One arrived in class dressed in a onesie, noting that it was cold and he liked to feel comfortable. Was he not "concerned about the infantilising overtones of such a garment?" asked Mr Hayward. "No, I want to be treated like a kid," came the reply. "Adulting is hard."

:#marseycontemplatesuicide:

Finally, Mr Hayward chides the liberal commentariat. On the one hand, they celebrated Greta Thunberg, a former schoolgirl activist, as an "all-knowing sage", despite her possessing "no scientific expertise" and saying "nothing original whatsoever about climate issues". This, he claims, is evidence of "a role reversal in which young people are increasingly assigned the intellectual gravitas and cultural authority to educate adults".

:#marseyhesright:

A lot millennial writing consists on adults behaving like children and children acting as sage creatures "lecturing" adults. Greta Thunberg is just a symptom of that. !writecel gives us some pf the worst examples of "wise kids" tropes on media.

But Mr Hayward's argument has two flaws. One is that it is so grumpy. Why shouldn't adults dress up as comic-book characters, if they enjoy it? What is wrong with liking the "Wallace and Gromit" animated films? Being grown-up means taking responsibility for your actions; it does not mean only ever seeking fun in highbrow places.

Lmao, "Just let people enjoy things" journo version

Christopher Lasch has become very popular in the online chudospheres and was predicting/commenting on this many decades ago. His thesis was centered on the idea that the creation of so many expert classes (teachers, psychologists etc.) in the realm of private/family life have caused parents to defer to :marseywomanmoment2::marseydoctor:-logic and suck. I think obviously technology has caused many parents to abdicate their responsibility even further.

Unrelatedly, Matthew 18:

1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" 2 And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them, 3 and said, "Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whoever humbles himself like this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

I've always been curious how that relates to 1 Corinthians 13:11

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

1 Corinthians 13:11

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child. Now that I have become a man, I have put away childish things.

It's just describing something that happens.

Look at the surrounding verses, it's about something which is to come.

But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

:marseyhmmm: I always figured it's about the maturity you get when you're all grown up and clothed in your new heavenly body :marseysaint:

Jesus directly mentions the intellectual humility of children, which is a characteristic that a wise man would likewise possess. :marseywise:

Paul actually talks about it in the same passage too, you're just having a :marseyluther: moment taking something from scripture out of context. :marseysmughips:

St. Pauls First Epistle to the Corinthians, 13:

8 Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect; 10 but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully understood. 13 So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

I explained responding to @lain below but I would guess He means intellectual humility and willingness to learn, which is a concept that comes up often in the Bible such as in Ecclesiastes where the novel spin on Hellenistic philosophy provided by our :marseymerchant: author is to dwell on the vanity of knowledge itself, which Greeks held in much higher regard.

I think obviously technology has caused many parents to abdicate their responsibility even further.

It's crazy how many parents just delegate raising their children to youtube and minecraft.

I see these r-slurs pushing their r-slurlets around in strollers out on a nice day while the r-slurlets are glued into a fricking ipad.

The growing social issues we have are almost entirely the fault of shitty parents completely abdicating their responsibilities.
