In this episode, we dissect the provocative hypothesis that mandatory retirement at age 62 could save global governance. We dive into the science of the aging brain—contrasting the decline of 'fluid intelligence' with the peak of 'crystallized wisdom'—and explore the evolutionary 'Grandmother Hypothesis' that suggests elders were meant to advise, not rule. From the cautionary tales of Soviet stagnation to the hidden gender penalties of an early cutoff, we weigh whether clearing the way for youth is the key to innovation or a recipe for losing our most experienced minds.
