Age is a factor though in how people think and perceive the world yeah? I do apologize thankfully I'm not in a position where my bias hurts anyone but myself and I'll work on my thinking.
- emodendroket 9y agoThat is an argument that ageism is right, not an argument that your post isn't ageist.
- redorb 9y agoI guess my question is .. Is it true age has a correlation with perception? If so - is that truth itself ageist?
- emodendroket 9y agoLet's work from a definition here; I think this is the kind of "ageism" we're talking about (sourced from dictionary.com): > a tendency to regard older persons as debilitated, unworthy of attention, or unsuitable for employment. I think this clarifies things, doesn't it? Even if you somehow objectively prove that older workers are unsuitable, or less suitable, for employment, that doesn't make a philosophy against hiring older workers not-ageist. It just means that ageism is correct (to be clear: hypothetically. I am not endorsing that view).
