Idea: 40+ Or 40-55 amateur essay contest 🤔. That seems to be the most silent age range if you exclude professional writers. I’m just a teeny bit tired of youthful thinking. Feels like watching exhausting reruns of my own shit.

I have a nasty suspicion though that most in this age range have learned nothing and not grown much after college, and are likely to be a bundle of stale thoughts, tedious domestic concerns, and resentments/regrets. Plus of course some bullshit expertise.

Here's a youthful conversation I had as a 21-year old: "Doing cool things costs money, but most money-making jobs aren't cool" "How bout: work at a money-making job, save up, then do cool things?" "Yeah! Why don't more people do that?" "Something about growing old kills the cool"

I see vast divergence. I find myself connecting with people 10+ years younger, and others in my cohort acting like they are 10+ years older. It takes work to admit that the world is changing.
