Like Hunter Biden, I did a lot of foolish things when I was young, only I stopped before middle age. I had a good time. Sometimes I think my generation was the last that could go to a party without having to worry about pronouns or tell politically incorrect jokes in college without having a secret file opened on you.
We did crazy things: drinking cocktails through plastic straws, studying non-egalitarian mathematics, watching Dumbo without finding any trace of racism, and learning history instead of rewriting it. I often thank God that I was born in 1981. Our idol was John Belushi, not Greta Thunberg. And the only pre-pandemic time I was placed under house arrest was when my parents ordered it, for being late and a little drunk.
