I've often had similar thoughts & a similar sense of disappointment. I wonder if they're right, though, or if I'm not perceiving important stages in people's aging.
When you're a child, you can see older people accomplishing things you can't even understand how they are doing it. You can see the valuable results but the process is a total blackbox. I don't see anything similar when I look at older people now.
I think you need to look horizontally instead of vertically then. Look at new domains you know 0 things about that are deeply outside your area of knowledge. It's important to always be amazed!
Oh, I have no absence of things to be interested in. Everything has an interesting angle, whether it's catnip or Silicon Valley tech economics or racehorse breeding. What's disappointing is that they'll never be as transformative to me as something like game theory or evolution.
Have you taken acid yet??
Yes.
Ah, that's an interesting difference. I do. And I know that as a child many of the most important processes were things I didn't even see at the time.
I guess I equivocate on this! I know people where I suspect what they're doing relies on really new levels I don't have (and may never have). But I'm not sure that's true, either!
I think I agree. But once you roughly understand how people do the things they do, what processes allow for them to achieve X, you can the turn to organizations/institutions. i.e. “How does the legal system work?” There’s infinite complexity there.
As you become more and more developed, you may need to look harder to find other highly developed people. If you're not looking harder (or better) over time it would naturally seem as if the diversity and wonder of the world naturally fades away as you age.
Maybe you should look at younger people to find it again
