We also learn from our mistakes and the older we are, the more we've made.

When I think back to when I was younger (I'm 47) I realize how simplistic a lot of my beliefs were. These days I'm far more willing to listen to others and I make a lot fewer assumptions about why people do the things they do. I hope the trend continues.

I think that's why I was a little sympathetic to that Google engineer that was recently fired for his memo arguing against Google policies on diversity. After I read about what he argued, I actually said to people that he sounds very young. His recent statements about the positive aspects of the KKK reinforce that.

Agreed. It's something like acquiring dimension in thinking.

Maybe we just too lazy to find out how bad some idea is. LOL
