| schestowitz | Physical abilities usually degrade over time. For a male, the tipping/declining point might be somewhere around 25. But for proficiency in particular jobs it can take decade, e.g. for minds to adapt themselves to their environment/s. To each mental capacity and inclination there is a community (or audience) and people are being tuned to the mindsets of their times. In retrospect we assess our state of minds based on mindsets | Oct 13 21:42 |
| schestowitz | that are not passe and unpopular, so it is easy to justify to oneself an ever-increasing level of intellect. | Oct 13 21:42 |

| schestowitz | Yes, basically my POV is that whatever suits out times (either age of contemporary trends) makes the previous or even future choices -- be them preferences or thoughts or feelings -- seem silly and irrelevant. One has the natural instinct of favouring oneself, the present, and all/most of the past choice. Life is an exercise of self-convincing, e.g. that all the failures were merely lessons that proved to be constructive and | Oct 13 23:38 |
