"Our task as the older generation is to shield the young from those who would exploit their naïveté without infecting them with our own accumulated pain and cynicism." [33:53] stuck with me and is my take away.

Shield is the wrong word. At some point, the shield must fall, and then the young are no longer young, but are still näive.

There will always be exploiters, don't believe that they will die once we manage to shield the young for enough time for the exploiters to die of old age.
