      It is truly the sign of a burnt out intellectual that as the world passes them by, once revolutionary thinkers will cling to their ever-shrinking world view, refusing to admit new models that better approximate the data than those they accepted in a simpler, disconnected age.

      But the reality is their models were never a good fit, even within the exalted “Western” world of thought there misfits in the model, like George Sand or La Maupin, who refused to be crammed into set gender roles.

      Our premodern and Victorian notions of strict gender roles and sexuality, however, were simply a model, and one that poorly fit reality. The reality is that sex and gender are complex, and the only reason we thought it was “true” is we weren’t looking at all the data.

      As we become more connected and information is more democratized we see that these models were poor fits all along. Too simple, too rigid, and rather than adjusting to the fact of people like Wilde or Turing, we suppressed the data if their nonconformity.

      With the latest antiwoke BS we’re seeing the same nonsense, the dying of the old models under the weight of data that can no longer be dismissed as “outlier” or insignificant. I am only saddened to see some of these geezers “go emeritus” as it were.

      They once were willing to challenge the dominant, and wrong, models (because all models are wrong) that described how people should live, work and be good members of society, but the apparent rigidity of age limits their ability to accept the any new data (or stop denying it).

      And that is what is most scary to me. As I age and become irrelevant, is this rigidity my destiny? Will I end my life making more and more shaky and bigoted pronouncements, undoing all the good I’ve tried to do, because I can no longer accept change? This is terrifying.

          It’s sad because we see it so much, but I don’t think it has to be this way. It must also be a fine balance, because the opposite pole - of rigid contrarianism to every accepted model - is equally buffoonish and sad. How do I make sure I walk the line, even as age steals balance?

          No, they've been rewarded for work, and become comfortable with that as a status quo. Nothing to do with age, but more of a function of how 'bought off(?)' / 'invested' they become in their new status quo.

          Ah. As long as I remain irrelevant I am safe. Oddly reassuring.
