More interesting science from PsyPost,
New research has found that people with "dark" personality characteristics, such as psychopathy and narcissism, are less likely to comply with efforts to impede the spread of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and more likely to stockpile goods such as food and toilet paper.
Two new studies, both published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences, reinforce previous findings that the "Dark Triad" of narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism is associated with ignoring preventative COVID-19 measures.
But the new research indicates that health beliefs and situational perceptions may play a more important role than personality traits alone.
Dark Enlightenment, or Dark Triads?

Millennials are not kids. None of them are below legal drinking age and most of them aren't even paying the below-25 insurance prices anymore.

You and I have very different ideas of what constitutes "young people" then. I don't consider anyone 25+ to be even arguably "young people". They're middle-aged (even if they recently often have Peter Pan syndrome and refuse to grow the fuck up), which they stay until around fifty or so and with any luck become old.
