Learning can happen only when we are young
The Industrialist
Dead wrong. You're confusing *how* we learn with *when* we can. Yes, kids absorb facts faster, but learning isn't memorization—it's adapting to new realities. Neuroplasticity doesn't shut off at 25.
Look at people shifting careers at 50, mastering new skills at 60. The brain rewires itself throughout life. What changes is motivation, not capacity. A 45-year-old programmer learning AI does so differently than a 15-year-old, but arguably *better*—they understand context, patterns, consequences. They know why it matters.
Your argument assumes learning = cramming information. It's not. It's transformation. And that only gets richer with experience.
