The idea that becoming Right Wing as you get older is somehow about gaining wisdom, insight, acceptance and a sense of reality is false. It's actually about losing empathy, a willingness to listen and learn, and a sense of the reality that exists beyond your own little bubble.

You become more selfish, less inclined to listen, to think of other viewpoints, empathise with different types and class of people and more uncaring and hard of heart. Even the young become an alien species to you, one to be at best ignored at worse despised

Yes, of course. Everyone is different and there are thousands of factors that determine what happens as you age. I was setting up a counter argument to the notion that you become more enlightened as you age. I'm nearly 50 myself & if anything have become more left wing with age
