Do people develop philosophical ideas at older age?
I have noticed that many older people tend to become quite philosophical during later stage of their lives. I have I teracted with many of my older relatives who were philosophical. Sadly, they are no longer in this world. Having said that, do you think that they actually become philosophical?
I'm 49 now and I feel like I was a baby as a young adult.Gardener wrote: Thu Jan 08, 2026 8:10 pm I have noticed that many older people tend to become quite philosophical during later stage of their lives.

That's fine. I am 33 years old and I haven't developed philosophical ideas yet. I believe I am still quite young to develop such kind of idea. I am still studying a lot about philosophical ideas such as stoicism and how stoicism shape our views and beliefs about the world we live in.Jason wrote: Thu Jan 08, 2026 8:30 pmI'm 49 now and I feel like I was a baby as a young adult.Gardener wrote: Thu Jan 08, 2026 8:10 pm I have noticed that many older people tend to become quite philosophical during later stage of their lives.

I feel like knowledge of credit, banks, common sense stuff like that helps younger people more. It's stuff that has destroyed me.Gardener wrote: Thu Jan 08, 2026 8:41 pmThat's fine.

I am a young man myself (I am 33 years old), but I usually do not deal with banks. I usually use cryptocurrency and eWallets to carry out transactions. Many elderly people near me also never use cryptocurrency and they rely more on banks. It seems like cryptocurrency still needs to gain more popularity.Jason wrote: Fri Jan 09, 2026 3:59 pmI feel like knowledge of credit, banks, common sense stuff like that helps younger people more.

I've not gotten into that and know little about it.Gardener wrote: Sat Jan 10, 2026 4:37 pmI am a young man myself (I am 33 years old), but I usually do not deal with banks.

No problem. It is perfectly fine. I can explain that to you. Cryptocurrency are digital currencies. They are based on Blockchain technology. Think of cryptocurrency as electronic currency that has an intrinsic value. Bitcoin has been the most successful cryptocurrency out there. It had a value of just 10 cents when it was created. Now it has a value of $96,867 as if writing this right now.Jason wrote: Wed Jan 14, 2026 2:45 pmI've not gotten into that and know little about it.Gardener wrote: Sat Jan 10, 2026 4:37 pmI am a young man myself (I am 33 years old), but I usually do not deal with banks.
