if you have noticed any fluctuation? I hear you mental power peaks at about 22 and begins to decline after 26, but that's pretty depressing, and I don't want to believe it, so if you have experience to counter or confirm this, please share.
I don't really buy it. Subjectively I don't feel anything that makes me feel less smart or less capable than when I was 22. And given the huge advantage in accumulated knowledge and experience I have now, I feel FAR more capable than my 22 year old self, or my 30 year old self, or even my 35 year old self.
Does your wisdom and experience outweigh any mental decline in real-life situations?
I would say "yes". If my cognitive abilities have declined at all, I think the increase in knowledge and experience far more than compensates for that.
How does age affect creativity?
I think I'm more creative right now than at any other stage of my life.
Right now (3 days shy of 40).
