So you end up with octogenarians in power? No thanks.

I am glad that in my country people retire and fuck off to spend their last days on holiday. Spending their accumulated wealth has become a major engine of the national economy.

If anything, we’ve seen that older generations of leadership can’t keep up with changing technology and fail to adapt to massive upheavals.

In times of rapid technological development, the old are not wise. They are reactionary and cannot adapt. Their brain stopped developing before the internet. To expect them to make adequate decisions for the current landscape is to expect them to understand a world they simply weren’t built for.

Not too much wisdom in sight.
