We have had an exceptional 75-year-old man as our leader.
I wonder why we voted for even an older man than him.
We expect him to do an excellent job with his life experience.

Basically, this philosopher says the human race needs the elderly for existence
for their wisdom and experience that comes from the aging that compels them to face death
every day and generates wisdom for the survival of man.
This truth, according to him, is more important than having great innovators and disrupters
like Zuckerberg or Steve Job for the sake of the existence of man and the elevation of
humanity like from Trump to Biden although Trump was a mutation, an outlier,
for his shameful old age(he never matured and wasted all his years still with his silver spoon
in his mouth he had at his birth).
Personally, this philosopher's opinion gives me some encouragement for my day to day existence.
It is interesting to note that he divides old people into two groups, depending on attitude,
one group looking forward and ahead to look for solutions for now and the future,
and the other looking backward and remains static with a sense of resignation.
As a physician, I must say the health status of the elderly could contribute quite a bit
to this attitude, although it is not considered to be one of the primary determining factors.
