But I take a certain amount of enjoyment from it.
There's a nostalgia.
There's also a feeling of familiarity.
And so probably it's a collection of things.
But you do see more pathological aging that people will completely forget.
They'll say the same things.
They'll ask, what's for dinner again?
Five minutes later, what's for dinner again?
What's for dinner again?
And that's where it's probably more concerning.
But it is an interesting thing to note that as we get older, we might engage in that sort of behavior.
I think just the diversity that accompanies aging is really interesting.
You could look at a 100-year-old who's doing really well and a 60-year-old who's not doing so well.
So we can't just use kind of biological age as the marker.
And as a psychologist, of course, I'm interested in psychological aspects.
And there's, you know, an old study on nuns who, you know, it's interesting to see how you can test different people, but nuns are very committed to their age.
their profession.
And you found that these nuns, how they age, some of them certainly when they passed away, their brains had these kind of hallmark signs of dementia, plaques and tangles, but behaviorally they were still high functioning.
So it's really interesting that the hardware shows what we see as dementia and specifically Alzheimer's disease, but their behavior,
was that of a fairly healthy cognitive person.
