Learn Something New Today

“In the paper, Wu argues that if we reimagine cognitive aging as a developmental outcome, it opens the door for new tactics that could dramatically improve the cognitive health and quality of life for aging adults. In particular, if adults embrace the same “broad learning experiences” (characterized by six factors below) that promote children’s growth and development, they may see an increase in their cognitive health, and not the natural decline that we all expect.”

“Wu makes the case that we naturally tend to shift from ‘broad learning,’ to ‘specialized learning,’ when we begin our careers, and at that point, cognitive aging begins. As we settle into our work roles, we become more efficient in our day-to-day expectations and activities, and rarely stray from that. Though there are some benefits to it, such as having more efficient and accurate responses in appropriate situations, there are also downfalls, such as holding wrong assumptions or difficultly overriding these assumptions.”
You are not too old, nor simple-minded, to learn something new today.  I try to live my life based on this principle. In fact, IMO, if everyone would live by this principle, we could eradicate essentially every problem we have in society.  Too bad most people have shown very little desire to agree and change their mindset to follow this worldview.  Just think of what we could accomplish together if we all tried to understand something we don’t already know.

If you support socialism or anything other than complete free markets, this atrocious activity is what you are implicitly advocating.  As for myself, I will not stand to support this heinous and cruel system.  You liberal elites are out of control.  Take a look at the world around you.  Capitalism is a glorious thing.
