The idea is that we learn what to do and what not to do from our elders. The older people are, generally they get more stuck in their ways. Most effective way to pivot generational thinking is with turnover (until we can modulate our brain function better, then all bets are off)

I’d very much enjoy being young forever in a world built on collaboration than eventually die in a world where “the last people to die gets their way”.

Actually thinking about this more. Collaboration might currently be crippled because of age and death. When you know have a few more years to live, you just want to enjoy what you’ve had. When you have another 1000+ you can take a few to invest into “getting caught up to the times”.

I'd rather have people get stuck in their ways than literally dying. The deaths of billions of people is not an acceptable cost of "progress."
