Search Results: is it his kid

I know this age identification thing is getting out of hand lol, but let me add context to my question:

When they asked Borges in an interview if he considered himself a man of the 19th century, he unquestionably answered, “Yes.” Borges was born in 1899.

I think it goes beyond having literally been born in that century. He despised his era; he despised what the 20th century brought to the world, so I see it more as a very conservative posture and identification rather than really meaning that he is someone from the 19th century, since he has no recollections from that century, and when we think about 20th-century figures, many of them were born in the 19th century (Hitler, Einstein, Churchill, Sartre, Kafka, Bertrand Russell, etc.). Borges did have a love for authors and philosophers of that century, and many of the anecdotes that he tells about his ancestors happened in the 19th century, so it is more of a longing than a literal identification.

So my question goes in a similar way: in what meaningful ways would you consider yourself to be a 20th-century person despite being mostly a 21st-century one? Or the world evolves so fast that it makes this impossible to answer as Borges did?

Trump on Meet the Press Yesterday:

KRISTEN WELKER: “Let me ask you about another group of people, the estimated 4 million families in America who have mixed immigration status. So I’m talking about parents who might be here illegally but the kids are here legally. Your Border Czar Tom Homan said they can be deported together. Is that the plan?"

”TRUMP: “Well, that way you keep the — well, I don’t want to be breaking up families, so the only way you don’t break up the family is you keep them together and you have to send them all back.

WELKER: “Even kids who are here legally?”

”TRUMP: “Well, what you’ve got to do if they want to stay with their father — look, we have to have rules and regulations. You can always find something out like, you know, ‘This doesn’t work. That doesn’t work.’ I’ll tell you what’s going to be horrible, when we take a wonderful young woman who’s with a criminal. And they show the woman, and she could stay by the law, but they show the woman being taken out. Or they want her out and your cameras are focused on her as she’s crying as she’s being taken out of our country. And then the public turns against us. But we have to do our job.”

(I bolded "they" because I thought it was curious that he's not saying MY or OUR policy but 3rd person amorphous "they". You don't think it's because he wants to deny responsibility for his own actions do you?
