It seems there is an uptick of the expression "I feel like" especially in the usage of the younger generation. The incidence of expressions in the language, the meaning or importance of such incidences s not something I am familiar with. So maybe I should not comment...
The author of the NYT article argues that "there is no problem here", even when the expression is used instead of I think. I feel he may be right, but I don't think so. This is a generation that avoids feeling unconformable, or unsafe. Seems that in their view feelings may replace reasoning. I feel thus I am? I "feel" this is another nail in the coffin of the Enlightenment.
