RE: Some pattern that I used to know
I wonder if this goes someway to explain the 'getting older' thing, as not being attentive to 'the in things'.
One example is my attention on music today, is almost non existent after listening to music intently for decades.
When I hear music today - new music - it's not so much that it doesn't 'have something', so much as the something it has, is 'a something' I have heard already in older music, so it doesn't hold my attention....
Just one example, but no reason for it not to run across a wide range of subjects...
...Interesting post.
It is possible that it has something to do with it and could be part of the explanation of the speed at which the brain grows from 0-3 and then slows incredibly. At that age, everything is new and their are no heuristics. Of course, it doesn't quite work this way but it must have some effect on our learning abilities as the most intelligent are also usually the most curious which would mean they are continually sticking their noses into what they don't know.
