"You'll get more conservative as you grow older." No, as you grow older, you will become more fiercely opposed to the systems that failed you in your youth...

@nprofile1q... I don't know, this one is tricky. I've seen some actually not do this but, in fact, kind of the opposite. Pretty much a "pulling up the ladder behind them" thing. Wanting the systems that helped them to be destroyed lest they help others. I think it somehow goes either way, very much depending on the person, but also somewhat on the influences they're exposed to. My own parents went from being somewhat open-minded in the past to strong right now with a lot of closet hate/bigotry.
