The older you get the more the world changes around you, that rate of change is also increasing. Simultaneously your ability to adapt is diminishing.

It's easy to imagine elderly people clinging desperately to what little resistance to change they have power over. It's motivated by a mix of fear and spite for a world they no longer understand. They may not be able to prevent other races from moving in next door, but remove that mat from the handrail, and stay off the lawn!

I'm 40 and the older I get, the less patience I have. I see it for example with my love of Linux. Back in my 20s I loved to fiddle for hours to get things to work. Nowadays I dont have the patience for bullshit and spending time in small things.

I can only imagine how I'll be in another 40 years.
