Shifting Standards

Me: I crushed a 17 year old’s hopes of appearing competent this weekend.
Joe: Really?
Me:  He was mouthing off about quantum mechanics and I called him out for maintaining outmoded pieces of the Bohr Model.
Joe: Is there anyone you won’t try to crush if you think they’re wrong?
Me: Yeah… Generally anyone under a decade younger than me is safe.  But as time goes on that minimum age is dropping faster than I age.
Joe: I see you turning 40 and yelling at zygotes “you call that cell differentiation?  You’re not dividing hard enough!   Kids these days.”
