Okay, I am sorry to quote myself but this a topic I've picked over and embodied for years, both personally and professionally.

When I shot off a bird thread about it in the grocery store parking lot in October of 2021, it resonated with a lot of people so I'm going to reproduce my words here, where there may be a different or more nuanced discussion about it.

Here goes: getting older does not make people conservative, that's a myth made by conservatives. (1/_)

@_L1vY_ I've become less conservative with age, largely because of the awareness I gained over the years. I also realize how much the success I've had has been contingent on privilege and chances I've taken going well for me.

@acjay I'm glad some of those chances worked and you're making it!
