I was hanging out on a co-working Zoom with some friends today and there was some joking about whether a younger person had seen something before. It was very lighthearted and in good fun (no one was offended), but it reminded me of my desire to approach things like that with curiosity and foster an environment of delight. I think it’s becoming an important personal value for me as I get older.

It also reminded me of something Ego Nwodim said on the So True podcast:

“I aspire to be an older person whose mind can be changed ... that seems super rudimentary, but how often do we go like, ‘oh, that person's older.’? I would feel like part of a life well lived for me would mean that at 70, someone could change my mind by presenting information I had not previously considered.”
