Nope tons of good ideas and talented people. You’ve just lost the will to explore, and you blame everybody but yourself. Basically you’re just counting the days until you die, doing the same thing over and over and over. You’ve got all the classic signs, insisting everything new sucks, being a curmudgeon to anybody that suggest otherwise, fleeing from new knowledge. Might as well crawl in your casket because you’re already dead. I was raised to see the world as a place for constant exploration, there’s always something new and exciting out there. My grandmother started watching college basketball in her late 60s, all her life she’d hated sports, made fun of them, complained when they pre-empted her favorite shows. Then one day she said “people get a lot of fun from sports, maybe I’m missing something”, started watching, found there were plenty she didn’t like but grew to love college basketball.

I picked up some beer I’ve never had today, variety packs are great for that, probably won’t like at least 1 of the 5 new (to me at least) flavors, but I’m sure to like at least 1, and who knows 1 could be so great it replaces Fat Tire as my favorite. The only way to find that new favorite is to try new stuff, life is for exploring, why waste your finite laps on the same thing over and over.

Yeah, but most of them are old now and no longer performing.
