Anything created before you’re 15 is just the way the world has always been.

Anything created between the ages of 15 and, maybe, 35 or 40 is amazing and cool and exciting and you can have a career in it.

Anything created after you’re 40 is a threat to civilization.

This maps pretty well with how I think about societal power centers.

Cultural power is with the young, molding and accruing in that first bucket.

Spending and professional power in the second.

Political power in the last.

Also why the youth are always seen as counter-cultural. The change is their norm.
