My most-disagreed-with tweet in a while

You can develop a deep and narrow interest anytime in life, but I’ve never met anyone who developed breadth of interests and curiosities late in life. You have like one shot in your early 20s. Once you develop a narrow/deep interest or two, you can no longer go broad.

What led you to believe this? Seems more likely to be a selection bias issue (curious people love learning -> become broad early on) than a causal truth (is old and narrow -> can't broaden). What was your process in coming to that conclusion?
