Beware you young men with fresh brains. Brains can and do get worn. I could say almost exactly your words about my younger self, but not anymore. Now I suffer badly from never having learned and trained a good note system. Get your external memory configured and operational in due time.

What age did you notice it change?
In my late forties. The quality of my lectures became fluctuating. Thought it was temporary but soon realized that on average it was slowly but steady downhill. Edit: Should say, that’s twenty years ago and not the slightest indication of dementia today. But significantly harder to handle complex things in my mind only.
