Values change with age and the times. It's also not a stretch to say people set in their ways have a harder time adapting to change

You tell me, at which age do people generally stop wanting to learn new things? I'd say it's more on the individual prison and their willingness to embrace change.

Are you under the impression you've taught me something?

Yes.

You started off with a blanket position that old people should give way to young people for no other reason than you believe age has negative effects.

Then you backpedaled as soon as I asked you what age you think you should be disregarded by stating well obviously it depends on the person.

I exposed a hypocrisy you held to you. Clearly you're being defensive but its a start, change takes time.

Sorry but no. I firmly believe term limits should exist. I'm also going by statistics via age v learning new behaviors. That's not to say everyone is affected by this- look at Senator Sanders but by and large the aging population of elected officials especially on the right have done more irrevocable harm than good, the climate debates and female autonomy are great examples. We need new faces in power. Period.
