Why doesn't we all learn with age?

How come some people get more ignorant with age?

Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Shouldn't we get more open minded and accept eachother more?

I see a tendency around the world with hatred.... mostly among the elderly.
Is it because they wanna hang on to what they once knew, being afraid of might come?

We kinda do.
You might want to look up fluid vs. crystallized intelligence.
We learn. But we also have learned.


Possibly because people have to determine if how they have been doing something will work "good enough" vs. having to learn something new and put forth the energy and effort to make it the new old way of doing things.

It's "easier" to rely on what you "have learned" than trying to figure out what you might maybe need to learn among the possible things that you could learn but don't know whether you should or not or what's relevant to learn yet.


I think that would be scary.
It would mean people would throw out everything they already learned to do as they got older simply for the sake of doing something new, with no guarantee the new way would work.


As an extreme, no. That would be scary. (just as scary as pure homogeneity)
There is no security or safety in a lack of consistency.
"Uh oh, those blades of grass over there moved again. Now, my experience has been that it's always been the wind...but I need to be more open minded to change and something new. Expect something new and changing...Maybe it's a gorilla. Maybe it's a shark. Maybe it's a gorillashark hybrid, cuz I saw a Jurassic Movie where they combined frogs and dinosaurs, I need to be open minded to the possibility. I better go buy a gun, I've never done that before, and I should expect something new, because that could mean danger, and I need to prepare for constant new things. I'll try shooting into the grass at random intervals, something new, to placate my danger sense due to new information...maybe I should get some explosives, because maybe a gun won't work."

Or "Oh look, there's some fellows all wearing the same colors and masks holding guns coming at me. Hmmm, I want to be open minded and accepting. I'm gonna sit here and talk to them when they come up."


Other than that, "we" kinda do. People tend to be open minded and accepting of things that don't affect them and they don't experience.
Open minded and accepting doesn't mean not having an opinion.
It only really matters what people do about something.
Sitting on the internet complaining and telling other people what they should do is not being closed minded and unaccepting.

And other than that, it kinda depends on tolerance levels.
There's a huge difference between being uncomfortable about the openly trans pierced ink multicolored hair barista at the coffee shop you've gone to for the last 20 years and will continue to go to, and saying "you know, that guys raping my wife...I don't want to tell him what to do, and maybe that's his culture. Plus I want to respect my wife as an equal and capable of taking care of herself. So I'm not going to stop him and risk communicating to my wife that she needs some man to protect or save her. She said she's no princess and didn't need a man on her profile when I saw her on that dating site..."


Human beings inherently seek equilibrium and consistency, homeostasis.
They want a guaranteed source of food, water, shelter, sex, social position/group security for the least required amount of effort (cost) while seeking immortality (kids/longevity).

People form routines and habits and rituals they perform on a daily basis. This also helps shape self image, who they think they are, and who society sees them as.
Any change in that changes who they are, and their value to society.

Change is only pursued to either achieve a benefit, and/or reduce a cost/stress.

Every human pursuit from the intellectual to the emotional is for the sake of creating shortcuts in order to reduce future thinking. (brain effort, expending energy).
Compartmentalization.

People call it "growth" because they're morons. They're just looking for the next thing they can take for granted in order to develop a picture of the status quo so they can expend less energy/effort and feel safe and secure in the reality they've created for themselves.

i think that the mistake you made in the title of your thread ought to tell you everything that you need to know!
