What more worry me is not a value drift, but the hardening of values in the wrong position.
We could see examples of people whose values have formed during their youth, and these values didn’t evolve in the older age but instead become a rigid self-supporting system, not connected with reality. These old-schoolers don’t have any new wisdom to tell.
Obviously, brain aging plays a role here, but it is not only a cellular aging, but also an “informational aging”, that is, in particular, hardening of pavlovian reflexes between thoughts. Personally, I found that I have the same thought in my mind every time I am start eating, which is annoying ( it is not related to food: it is basically a number).
