Interesting links.
Perhaps I have some sort of Benjamin Button thing going on. I spent most of my "youth" being quite reserved. Up until my mid-20s I was primarily concerned with not screwing up what I believed to be precious, fragile success.
I've increasingly opened up as I've gotten older and at 33 feel decades "younger" than I did heading into my 20s for whatever that's worth.
I wonder what my chart would look like? Would I actually find myself rising in these regards relative to the average, only myself or not at all?
>Exercise, continuous learning, and a few drugs can help to slow the decline.
I could not agree more.
I credit frequent, intense exercise with at least a much benefit to my mind as my body and find boredom hard to fathom.
I'd put surrounding yourself and interacting with the right and likely ever-evolving set of people up there too. Complacency and conformity lead to mental atrophy.
