In fairness, the word “conscious” has a range of meanings. For some, it is synonymous with certain religious ideas. They would be alarmed by the “heresy”. For others, it is synonymous to claiming that some entity is entitled to the same fundamental rights as a human being. Those would be quite alarmed by the social implications. Few people use the term in a strictly empiricist sense.
Young people are always ignorant, relatively. They haven’t been around long enough to learn much, after all.
However, the quality of education has been empirically declining over many decades, and mobile devices are extemely efficient accelerants of brain rot.

Honestly, responses like yours are more insufferable than the people you’re critiquing.
Would you like to elaborate or just lob an insult and leave
