Redpill me on the impact of aging on learning ability.
Some say by 25 you are already set in your ways and have difficulty learning new shit. Other says you can learn things forever.
So what is it?

You "learning worse" as you age is a myth. The brain has great neuroplasticity.

If you try to teach a little child how to use an iphone s/he'll learn it right away, whereas an old man might not.
What does that tell you?

As you grow older, you basically trade neural plasticity for information, then as you get even older, even that retained information gradually goes away.
Your prime is around 20 - 40 years of age. After that, its a slow decent.

As soon as your synapses get pruned and LPT kicks in, you won't be able to learn anything genuinely new. You won't be even able to unlearn the things you know wrong. Puberty starts the process by lowering copper levels, but it usually starts sooner.

You can learn to learn.

That is the act of learning new things, triggers your brain to increase neuroplasticity. It's like lifting weights. The harder and more difficult the subject you are learning, the more it stimulates your brain to make it easier to learn.

This effect is VERY noticible after returning to school from summer vacation. It's why the first 1-2 weeks are the worst.

This. I am missing about half of my brain (it is taken up by a benign tumor, an arachnoid cyst). I do ok. I don’t even have a conventional hypothalamus.

I dont think its hard capped, I think 25 is more appropriate for social rewiring. If youre 25 and catholic, youll probably die catholic.

But if your 25 and dont know how to use excel, you can probably learn how to use excel.

As long as you keep your brain active you can learn new stuff until you die, or at least until you're 80.

The old man also has a wealth of experience with other technology that conflicts with the iPhone.

Give them a phone without a touchscreen and see who sinks and who swims.

>children are good at learning languages
It takes them their entire childhood to fully grasp correct grammar, pronunciation and spelling whereas an adult with dedication could learn basically any language enough to be fluent in months to a year.

Their native language sure. But children and adults in their early 20s learn L2 so much faster than people in their 30s it's not even close
