You have a limited view and may have never worked along side sharp old folk. Get out more and see the value different demographics of people have. they're not sharp past 65 and they have low stamina, low energy sharp people work in tech, where there's practically no one over 50 i met plenty of interesting and lucid old people but they are not fit to compete with younger sharper and healthier peers in their fields since the pop is getting dumber, we're loosing the grasp on "smart" |

I'm working remotely with a fella on some system customizations who's 70, who was recently brought on to a medium tech company, and I'm blown away by both his knowledge, ambition, communication ability and grace. I would've never guessed on my own that he was 70. Edit to add: You use the word "compete" when comparing to peers. There-in lies a huge problem. If we stop competing with each other, we might get a little more done. Last Edited by 52YearOldVirgin on 06/28/2022 12:01 PM |

Those are signs of strong mental capacity. Biden is surely the opposite. I'm not saying I want trump back, but he is an example well performing mental faculties in an older person. So yes, someone can argue. Age is a number. How well you get along at the higher numbers is determined by what you do in the lower numbers. Last Edited by 52YearOldVirgin on 06/28/2022 02:30 PM |
