Ageism is an efficient life strategy

In light of my current support of what Young Kenya is trying to achieve in their political sphere, I may have given the impression that I am an ageist. I want to make it very clear: I am absolutely an ageist.

The 21st Century has no business reproducing the same-same issues and structures of the past, it has a lot of science fiction to live up to. I am also aware that we humans can be stubborn about change, but I take comfort in the fact that I am not alone in my dreams of the youth dragging us forth into a shining near-future. If only we would just let them lead?
