Interesting that politics is an exception. 90-year-old senators, and they even run for reelection!
But there can be a very useful purpose to having older people as politicians. Society needs to have some people in leadership with some social and historical memory. Journalism has gotten worse under too many young reporters have been more entertained, on the whole, than informed. And these days use phrases like “modern computers.”
Because anything before the 1990s is a hazy, pre-Modern era to them. What they know about important events from that era they learned in a movie or got the propaganda about it in school or college.
