    I don’t know I mean, I like to think of myself is experienced in many areas that I wouldn’t of had in my 20s and especially as a kid but the whole wise know it all thing yeah I mean if you’re secure in yourself cool but if you’re just dominating conversations for everyone and being to know it all that’s not for me

    Yeah, I mean like had many experiences where people would talk down to me because they're older, some people aren't like that I understand that but the majority of people I talk to are and thank God no one has done that on Ramblio

    I think we’re all experts in something relative to experience, so we can learn from everyone. I don’t think many 82-year-olds are gonna tell me more than I already know about prompting AI.

    It's just a matter of development time, starting conditions and some other conditions. A smart person will be smart in their 20s and 30s simply by gaining wisdom over time. A stupid person will be helpless in everything in his 30s and 40s. In short, intelligence does not grow with age, but the amount of information grows with time, and time means age.

    Wow, Doug! It makes sense, because you've been around for as long as I can remember, but you do sound much much younger. If I heard your voice for the first time, I would probably say you sound like you're in your late 20s, but there's a maturity in your manner of speaking that most people in their 20s just don't quite have yet.

    Age is definitely not a measure of experience, anymore than experience is a measure of intelligence. Doug is right. As an older person, it is not our job to be dismissive and condescending to the younger generation, it’s too share our experience and wisdom, and let them do with it as they choose. And also, I think it’s important for all older people to remember what we were like at that age. For me, that helps me come from a place of help and guidance, rather than a place of superiority.

    VineSwan's comment reminds me of two quips on the subject. The more common one is, "It's not the years, it's the mileage." (I don't know who first said that but it appears in the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark.) The second one, which I find both true and amusing, is, "Good judgment comes from experience. And experience... comes from bad judgment."
