Old people (lemm.ee)

Some old people are really cool. They know a lot of stuff, for one, and they provide much needed perspective, sometimes.

Other old people, however, are fucking stupid. I guess that's the world in a nutshell: some people are worth listening to, some aren't.

It upsets me when I realize some people around me are of the second kind. It fills me with a weird sort of envy when I see people that I will never have a chance to talk to be of the first kind.

I saw a video of Jimmy Carter at 94 giving an interview. Also, I've seen Joe Biden on the news.

Crazy.

Edit: Apologies for the riddle-like nature of this post.

No shit. Age has no basis here.

There are cool people in this world and a bunch of stupid people too.

This isn’t exactly a revelation.

Yeah, I'm a dude on Lemmy, not Nostradamus. I say what comes to mind, not "revelations."
