I’m over forty and quite frankly, I’m tired of this ageist crap. This entire premise is complete fucking bullshit. Do yourself and everyone over 40 you come into contact with a favour and pretend you never believed anything so toxic.
- TigeriusKirk 5y ago>This entire premise is complete fucking bullshit I'm over 50 and this does not match with my observations of the world. Older people, as a general trend, do in fact seem to be resistant to new ideas. There are exceptions, of course. The trend still stands in my experience.
- hluska 5y agoThen I’m sorry to say it pal, but you’ve got to get out more. Some of the most rebellious open minded people I know are in their seventies. Age is just about completely meaningless and ageism has no place in intellectual communities.
- btilly 5y agoAnd I'm over 50. My point remains. Very often things invented when we are older seem to be utterly pointless to us. We literally can't get why people are excited about them. And I see this tendency in people in my age range more than in my teenagers. I personally have to back up and go from first principles to avoid it.
- hluska 5y agoEverything is exciting - innovation is exciting and new inventions are exciting. If you can't feel it, that's sad and I hope you can get it back but please don't impose your own issue upon an entire age group.
