On spontaneity, going 'old', aspirations
Whoever is listening, are there any 50 something, maybe 40 something people and above here listening? If yes, please, please say hi, leave your thoughts and, you know, share whatever you think would give you fulfill you in terms of talking about this topic. And that is an aspiration, which is I come to my third theme, the aspirations of people who are a lot older, who have gone past the golden earmark maybe

You know, I spent some time in Japan, I've spent some time in south in fact, I spent three years living in South Korea and various other places in Asia. So there's a there's a very that's a striking difference that I probably the biggest difference I struggled with over there was the difference between the individualistic mental model and the collective mental model, and I think that's a long time since I've been over there

Of course, you still need to think about it, make decisions, but it's less rigid. In a way. I see this in older people
