>>12138108It's not that you get 'past your prime' as you get older, it's just that you start doubting your ability to learn/do stuff as you get older.
When you're an infant, you hardly ever think 'ah but what if I'm not good at reading/painting/whatever', or about what other people might think -- you just do it cause doing random shit is just what kids do.
Yeah, you could say that there aren't usually as high expectations for kids too, which might make it easier.
But really, in general people don't really care about other people, and any expectations you may have only your own.
Let's not forget that, when you get down to it, adults can learn far more efficiently than kids.
So yes, you can definitely learn as an adult, but you just need to find that childlike curiosity in the face of self-doubt, and the other troublesome feelings that an adult may have that kids don't.
Point is, the limiting factor of progress is almost certainly psychological.
Good luck anon
