Empirically people don’t really seem to grow much after 40. Maybe 1 in 10 will adopt a truly different mindset. Maybe 1 in 100 will develop a new life-shaping ability (not a hobby). Maybe 1 in 1000 will take on a fundamentally leveled-up Act 2 that will top Act 1.

This sounds like death to Americans raised on memetically modified high gritcose hustleporn syrup. I think the lack of visible growth after 40 for the vast majority is a good thing. It means growth has gone past healthy solipsism horizon. They’re living life on their own terms.

No. They've succumbed to their disappointments, and accepted their limits as externally imposed. "Their terms" are rationalizations and responsibility avoidance, bleeding off excess agency as if from an opened vein in a medieval hostel. Pathetic.
