Common to observe that Supreme Court justices drift left over their tenure, but what’s the theory behind why? What do you learn about law and human nature in your 50s and 60s that you didn’t learn earlier? (And are they the only cohort of Americans who get more liberal with age?)

Several other examples of this. It’s consorting with the outgroup that does it I think. Heard reliable anecdata that conservatives who coubchsurf (eg military after tours) reliably turn more liberal. Conservatism requires isolation for stability. Pluralism in context weakens it.
