Yes, We Get Wiser with Age
&gt; Empirical studies have shown that older people are better than younger ones in terms of control over emotion, knowing themselves better, making better decisions that require experience, and having more compassion and empathy towards others. These are the things I include in wisdom. So are things that are components of wisdom that can increase with aging.<p>How does this explain Brexit?<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;d25d2506sfb94s.cloudfront.net&#x2F;cumulus_uploads&#x2F;document&#x2F;oxmidrr5wh&#x2F;EUFinalCall_Reweighted.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;d25d2506sfb94s.cloudfront.net&#x2F;cumulus_uploads&#x2F;docume...</a><p><pre><code>    18-24: 71 remain &#x2F; 29 leave

Sure seems like a clear inverse correlation between age and things like &quot;control over emotion&quot;, and &quot;compassion and empathy towards others&quot;. I&#x27;m going to suggest that every aspect of the brain degrades as we get older, including &#x27;wisdom&#x27;.
