What kind of knowledge can you get from old age that you cannot get from experience?

Didn't I address this in my first paragraph?

How can you get enough experience without living long enough to accrue said experience? How can your perspective on things change if not enough time passed for perspective changes?

To get back to your initial claim:

> Experience and maturity is not very dependent on age.

This is what I disagree with. Experience and maturity are very dependent on age. While some people have a lot of experience and maturity early on, this is rare.

Also, some people don't get wiser with age, but that's a different proposition. I'm not claiming old people are necessarily wise.

What you're arguing is that they are correlated with age, not dependent. If they are dependent on age, then I have to ask what kind of knowledge you can get from old age which you cannot get from experience?

Literally my first comment that you replied to started with "experience is correlated with age".

I don't know what else to tell you, other than "read what I wrote".

Your last question has already been answered (by both myself and others). I won't repeat myself.
