The premise is that life stops being novel around 20 to suit this argument- but you can easily argue that that's more around 30 or even 40

Isn't the general principle sound? That novel experiences become rarer as we get older, leading subjective life to be highly skewed towards youth.

That's assuming novelty is the only way to live long subjectively. Is that a decent assumption? Personally I find subjective life longer if you just take your time, no pun intended.

Yeah sure. Here's one for the new year from a 57 years old:

There is always novelty if you stay curious. Boredom in your life will only start once you have become boring.

6-7 !!!

(who here also thinks the true meaning of 6-7 is reactive fear of 2026 & 2027 from the school-going crowd?)
