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.
Conversation
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"

Doing cool things when you are old(er) is definitely still good but markedly different in what is feasible than when you are young. Also, no guarantee you will make it to 'later' ....
