Unless you are ill or a retard your mental capacities and experiences do continue to advance even up until high age, at least if you want them to.
Who cares if your body gets shitty?

Todays extended life is thanks to modern medicine.

Life was much shorter for many in the past with a lot more not getting to the 20s

So yeah, try to enjoy the falling apart portion because it’s not what the norm was and definitely more comfortable than in the past.

Shit - if you have asthma and didn’t die thanks to rescue inhaler and treatment - you are walking evidence of our progress. Literally deleted by your own immune response in the past.

It's hard to sustain a being's peak physical performance for that long. It takes a lot of energy and resources. Instead as an adult declines, they can focus less on being active in life for themselves and more on helping to build up younger generations through altruism and intelligence/experience.

A lot of people in the past did live into their 60s and even 80s. Just as many 20-30 somethings die now as they did back then. Modern medicine has just given most people a 10-20 year boost to their lifespan.
