I’d argue with that bit about creativity and youth.

In sports, for instance, if you are talented and 15 there are pipelines into established and pro sports that make sense to follow. If you are 30 and missed your chance for that you can still be a pioneer in an emerging “extreme” sport.

A lot of young people seem to think creativity is 99% asking for permission and 1% “just do it”, it takes some experience before people realize it is really the other way around.
