They think they know everything and are always quite sure about it.

I'm Angela Duckworth.

I'm Stephen Dobner.

And you're listening to No Stupid Questions.

Today on the show, how can we heal the tension between generations?

Don't you sort of want to kill off the old people?

Also, what's wrong with taking pictures and videos of major life events?

Put away your phone and it's the Olympics.

Damn it.

Angela, we have a question from a listener named Jenny Layden, who is 51 years old.

How old are you?

That's my age.

What a great age, Jenny.

Unless Jenny is Angela.

Did you perhaps write in to your own show under a pseudonym?

I'm pretty sure I haven't, but read me the question.

Maybe it was me.

Jenny writes in to say this.

I am a 51 year old person who increasingly finds it difficult to listen to, empathize

with, and tolerate the often very loud voices of people in their 20s.

That's not me, Stephen.

No, I was kidding.
