Yeah, I’ve lived in a couple of countries in Europe and my fellow countrymen are the least socially aware of all and easily 30 - 40 years behind Northern Europe and Scandinavia.
I moved back to Portugal some years ago, after 2 decades abroad, and in several things (mobility, environmental awareness, social values) it was like going back in time.

WTF is going on? There’s so much access to information! I’m not talking about reading books, really. Why are we so behind on everything?

Our universities aren’t too shabby, and the curriculums are good… So what’s left for us to regain some momentum? I don’t know man, I just want to fly to Australia and stay there, to be honest.
