There is a kind of age-related cognitive decay that’s like needing reading glasses. Thoughts lose precision the way fields of view blur. You have to hold ideas at arms length to process them, but then you lose resolution and can’t process small font size (intricate logic)

What people think of as experience beating raw cognitive ability is a case of a 45 year old System 1 (fast analogical reasoning) beating a 25 year old System 2 (slow logical reasoning) that’s faster on *both* S1 and S2 given enough data.

This is Big Data wisdom of age. Compete where the young cant deploy their faster system 1s because they lack the data, and are forced to system 2. A sort of arbitrage.
