I’m a Boomer and have long feared we wouldn’t age well.

Hate to say, but I think you're spot on. I had been mentioning this to people for a long time -- even posted above article to a friend on FB.

As a lower-end Boomer (born in the late 1950s) I don't relate well to the older, leftover hippies, whom I truly find kooky. Suicide is the ultimate narcissism. The fear of aging & the moral relativism, which has led to complete amorality, will drive many in that direction. Others might indirectly self-destruct through drugs, etc.

They will go out in style, though -- have parties, invite friends. Someone did this a few years ago after she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Like Socrates who drank the hemlock.
