    Oh God yes, and it is reflected in my own family members who are all in their 70s. They strongly believe that a 70 or 80 year old is in “the prime of their life” and that “I have never been of sharper mind and more capable than at the age of 74.”

    Just totally delusional. “Me” generation indeed.

      Yes, they have a wealth of knowledge but they don’t realize that at that age they need to decide for the improvement of the next generation. But unfortunately people are selfish like that.
