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.

I’d love this!
I still need to finish Being Mortal, but the state of geriatrics / respecting the elderly in the US still makes me a little nauseous. My grandparents were all awesome people and I’m sad about how little I know about their lives.

As expected you’re extracting the 180 degree opposed idea from what I intend 🤣
Disrespecting elders is about the only thing American elderculture gets right. I think trad elderculture is way worse than modern. It actively inhibits dark growth by reducing oldies to grandparents.
