Perhaps there is an inverse relationship between the amount of value that a society places on the wisdom of the elderly, and the equality advocated for by their economic system.
We don’t value the elderly, because the market does not want to hear their message.
We also don’t listen to them because the market deems them economically castrated 🙃
Yes. It doesn’t serve Capital for the elderly to spread the message that the meaning of life is not to gather and hoard property. They would most likely agree that the most valuable rights are natural rights: freedom of thought, expression, speech, movement, freedom from persecution, etc.
