As someone who has spent some time talking to several 80+ olds, my impression is quite the opposite. People are much more open-minded at 80+ than they are 30-60. With age comes wisdom and the ability to see what really matters.
- maxxxxx 9y agoI see that in my parents. They used to be very narrow minded but now in their end-80s they have a much broader perspective and openly regret things they did when they were younger.
