Is the young generation, shall we say “cooked”? I came across this Amazon Review for ‘Ray Tracing in One Weekend’, it’s a very easy book with extremely minimal math requirements, really nothing more than dot product and vectors.

The C++ programs are so simple to follow that anyone who struggles should exit(bag) the industry immediately. The book is online so you can easily see what I mean. The tone is quite loose and friendly, I’m just not sure how you could even make any simpler for the zoomer-brain to comprehend. https://raytracing.github.io/books/RayTracingInOneWeekend.html

If this is too much, what happens when such people encounter vigorous mathematical analysis textbooks or classics in physics like Arnold’s Mathematical Methods of Classical Mechanics? Is this information just lost because: “Ayo bruhhhhh ayyyyyy da fuk?” These two reviews inspired the posts, but it’s an insidious and endemic attitude I see all too often in the younger generation who want everything spoonfed to them without expending any effort.
