Honestly I'm not even upset. Props for walking outside like that.
Id give this guy a thumbs up and hope he doesn't rage at me.

I'm my time I've observed most people fall into one of two groups: those passionate about exploring the esoterica and symbolism, and those who treat it like a social club. The old guys are mostly in the second group, young guys are mostly in the first. I see much more interest in the craft itself among gen X and millennials.
I think as the older guys start passing on in the next 10-20 years, we'll begin to see a marked decline in that old head boomer bigotry as gen X becomes the old head. We'll probably continue see a decline in membership for a bit in the immediate future, but I think there will be much more retention of younger brothers as focus shifts from socializing to practice of the craft.
