You are also being ageist against younger people by saying what you just wrote.


Logically that would imply that a new-born could be as experienced as an octogenarian; patently neither true nor possible. A denarian might possibly be more experienced than a vicenarian but then we might need to define ‘experience’ more carefully to arrive at a meaningful answer to the question.

For example we can (at any age) go on experiencing things without actually fully understanding what it is we’re experiencing. Perhaps it’s the subtleties therefore of interpreting a set of experiences that’s important, not the number of times we experience an experience - the former takes time, ie the rolling by of the years.

I don’t think Sanctuary is being ageist at all; he’s merely pointing out that things take time to (fully) appreciate - a bit like TMA actually, and the esteemed contributors who continue to post here.
