Yep, I used to laugh at older people who stopped drinking and partying (“hah couldn’t handle it pussies? I will be still doing it when I’m older”) and now I don’t want to do that stuff at all, nor childish sports watching. And also with that aging cane realization about MAGA over emotional moral relativism of lefty politics. But I still think I’m a fucking idiot, just hopefully a bit less so each day.
Here's some additional advice from an old guy: Be wary of anyone who tells you how smart, hardworking, God-fearing, or honest they are. These are traits to be observed, not told. So anyone who is any of these things should not have to say it, and the more they do, the less they are.
This goes double if they are yelling. I've known probably three true geniuses in my life. People who never, ever forgot anything and could master any subject. Astoundingly smart. The one thing in common from all three : I never, once, heard them yell.
Idiots yell all the time. A genius rarely speaks out.

That's not true.
