What niggles me here is that with a person, their most dramatic period of change is when they're very young (under 18, say) but civilization ages the other way; 10 millennia of gradual progress then 1-2 millennia of much more dramatic change. Civilization as Benjamin Button?

The changes probably are at the same rate, it's just that we pay attention to different bits. The changes that happen in children are mostly gross (large), as are the changes in a young planet. Later on, changes are fractal, and add complexity in the details (intellect/tech).

It would be a 15 year old who thinks they are the center of the world and boomers don’t know what they’re talking about. I mean, we do wreck the earth without thinking, and we largely ignore the lessons of history.

In terms of maturity, 38 is about right. Unfortunately, however, it’s been infected by a nasty bacterial infection that is causing a rising fever, which may severely cripple or even kill it prematurely.
