Rage Against The Machine Meter = Low, Medium/Low, Medium, Medium/High, or High
Ages Birth – 12: You’re oblivious to anything beyond your nose. It’s all about the world meeting your needs, and your needs alone. Should anything you want be withheld, you scream and shit your pants until said demands are met. Your days are spent immersed in a world of Dinosaurs, Barbie, and Star Wars.
RAM Level: Medium/High
Ages 13 – 18: Your thoughts and beliefs are now a combination of your own selfishness combined with 12 years of brainwashing from your parents, such as political, religious, and American Idol views, although you clearly have no understanding what your views actually mean. Adults know nothing, and if the world ran the way kids felt it should, there would be no problems.
RAM Level: Medium/High
Ages 19 – 29: You’re now learning critical thinking. You watch the news. You are reading books that don’t have pictures and are about things that have actually happened. And some of you have gone to college. The older generations are to blame for every problem in the world. You are the most informed person on the planet, however this overwhelming load of information is much like a person who has been blind for life and has suddenly gained their vision. You don’t know how to process all this new knowledge, thus are generally wrong about everything… you just don’t know it yet.
RAM Level: High
Ages 30 – 39: You’re now several years into your career and have an income. You’re paying substantial taxes, and working with people much older and wiser than you. You begin to have the realization that maybe you were wrong on a few things, but not ready to admit it publicly. You’re motivated and will make somebody a lot of money.
RAM Level: Medium/Low
Ages 40 – 65: You’ve had this job for quite a while now. Your routine is set. Weekends are the best part of your life. All of the sudden the stock market means something to you. The staff at Home Depot know you on a first name basis. You’re in a period of enlightenment where the older you get, the more you realize you know nothing. You’ve suddenly lost all touch with anything anybody under the age of 35 thinks, feels, or believes. It’s all about the countdown to your retirement without going postal at your job.
RAM Level: Low
Ages 66 – 79: You made it. And now these damn kids are trying to take away your Social Security and Medicaid. You’ve now moved into survival mode. Why not? You paid for your Social Security and deserve every penny of it even it will bankrupt the country. The younger generation is to blame for all the problems in the world. Screw those kids! Nobody gave you anything, so why should you give them anything? Completely fed up with the world, you buy a motor home and move to a land where everybody just like you congregates.
RAM Level: High
Ages 80 – Death: You’re oblivious to anything beyond your nose. It’s all about the world meeting your needs, and your needs alone. Should anything you want be withheld, you scream and shit your pants until said demands are met. Your days are spent immersed in a world of Depends, Canasta, and screaming at the nurse because your kids left you in this God forsaken retirement center.
RAM Level: Medium/High
