Sam is Guest Blogging Aging 100

2:30 - Reflecting on how he felt at this time of year in the time of our lives.
2:40 - Conflict between generations will increase as the economy goes more into a recession. Collection of aging, anti-aging, anti-anti-aging, and developmental aging. Changing the course from AGNG100 to AMP100 because aging is a black flag.
2:45 - Older people are presented in an unfavorable light if presented at all in younger children's books which lead to anti-aging movement. This is a great point, think of Cinderella the wicked step mother. Older people are letting the thought of getting old be taken negatively by trying to change how they look.

3:15 - Whole body ages at roughly the same rate over the many decades that are aging which is over the age of 28. Aging starts in your late 20's the speed stays consistent forever, what makes people different is how much age people have accumulated. Aging is an intrinsic process. If you want to live a life you are going to age. Parallel between Myths and the Caloric Restrictions live longer without
