If anything, we’ve seen that older generations of leadership can’t keep up with changing technology and fail to adapt to massive upheavals.

In times of rapid technological development, the old are not wise. They are reactionary and cannot adapt. Their brain stopped developing before the internet. To expect them to make adequate decisions for the current landscape is to expect them to understand a world they simply weren’t built for.

Massively ageist.

A lot of older people are more adaptable, have a better understanding of technology. The older you are the more change you will have experienced.

Yeah that’s why congress is just so on top of technology regulation.

Just because it’s ageist doesn’t mean it’s wrong.
