"You get more conservative when you get older" only really worked for the generations that got RICHER as they got older.
The real truth was always just "You get more selfish the more money you have".

@cmconseils or you get more selfish as you get more scared.

@lazyscot @cmconseils yes!

I think for some people: getting older brings frailty and makes you less likely to meet new people and this makes you scared - scared of change and things being done differently, scared of "others" who don't share your culture/beliefs/worldview. Then add in your only reference to this being salacious headlines and algorithms designed by psychologists to press your buttons - all to get you to buy and keep buying.

Everyone is selfish to differing degrees. When people get scared that nobody is going to look after them it makes sense that some might feel they have to look after number 1.

But there's some really good other points in this thread too. Thanks for sharing!
