This is an interesting subject matter though: We change as time goes on, but is that change correct?
Eg, i don't think my current self and my experiences have somehow made me inherently more correct than my younger self. I'm vastly different, but it seems likely that we are so quick to judge our younger selves because we're always in a state of feeling right. Whether we're 20, 30, or 60 - we're always feeling we are right, and our old selves are wrong.
While that seems logical, doesn't that also mean we're frequently/often/always wrong in the eyes of a future self? How can we be so sure to be so much better than our 20yr-self at 30, when at 40 we'll be saying the same thing about our 30yr-self.
There is no empirical right or wrong for most things like politics though, which only go to confuse the matter.. but it's interesting nonetheless, imo. (My current self is 32 btw, and my 20 self could use some advice)
