Hey relentlessly curious adventurers, do you think that it's good to buy into the adage that you're only as old as you feel? Why? What's wrong with being old?

Why is being considered young better than being considered old? Has it always been this way? If not, what changed? If so, is this ageism... or something else?

 

Discuss, debate, and dissect with us!

The lens is – and always will be – curiosity. Each week, fun informal conversations center around one delectable Curiosity Bite designed to give your brain the time and ideas to think about thinking, to flex your curiosity muscle… and maybe even… revolutionize the way you think.

What’s more important to you? What you know…or how you think?

Do you say you value how you think more than you value what you know? How much time to you set aside for thinking, developing how you think?

This week's Curiosity Bite:
