It's Rota's 10th point, on ageing, that's ringing in my ears. I'm the oldest person in the room far too often (and the population growth of recent decades serves to increase the effect and maybe even accelerate its onset) and I can absolutely attest, with the benefit of belated hindsight, to Rota's observation that this transformation happened overnight in a simple erasure of a former life. I'm searching for any indication whether I can see how to formulate any potential insights from my recollection of my time prior to this moment, for the purpose of possible improvements in approach before this life event, but I'm rather lost in thoughts about my experience with the latter half of the ageing phenomenon which has never been so succinctly put.Rota encourages you in your increasing age to enjoy being regarded as a institutional being. Possibly this needs to be updated in countries where there's been institutional and government scaling creep, because being perceived as institutional and bureaucratic (which effects I could already create too long before qualifying for Rota's advice) in my recent experience creates more difficulty than value with younger folk.
Edit: forgot now inserted that what I have been reflecting on is whether there's better ways leading up to becoming a overnight old aged institution .
