what, no, strongly disagree. It is true that a lot of science is made whilst young and this is more likely due to the fact that they had a lot of time, no family, or kids, also you are unconstrained by the weight of your own wisdom.
Correlation does not imply causation

- birdyrooster 5y agoAge doesn't cause faults of creativity. Cumulative changes in personal philosophy, time constraints and disease are most likely responsible.
- bryanrasmussen 5y ago>also you are unconstrained by the weight of your own wisdom. sounds like a creative way of saying that old age depletes creativity.
- skohan 5y agoNo it's a clarifying statement. I believe they're arguing that creativity is not depleted as a matter of biological inevitability - like decreasing skin elasticity - but rather that older people tend to develop a mindset which doesn't correlate well with creative thought. Those are very different causes with very different implications.
