@sendpaws @RustyCrab I don't mean a specific set of behaviors, but rather a disconnect between reality as it is and what they appear to perceive. I think that with aging comes a certain point at which one stops taking in as much new information, and consequently stops adapting, leading to the misapplication of strategies and the mismatch of reaction to stimuli. People call it "being stuck in the past" when it's particularly egregious for an individual, but I think this happens much more broadly than anyone considers, and may not be a moral/habitual so much as a biological problem.

I see some of these older millennials at work who quite LITERALLY seem to see things differently than me. Their reactions to things are too genuine and incongruous to believe otherwise.
