The fascination with changing people, genetically, surgically and psychologically, is a phenomenon that has been around for a long time. I don't approve of any of these three methods and clearly don't subscribe to them. As far as a change in mentality occurs gradually and I hardly notice it, so be it. That is the way of things. But I don't give much credence to the doomsday scenarios, nor do I believe the vaunted progress. In my opinion, both are exaggerated.
That's why our interests here are divergent and, just as you can't inspire me much for neoteny, I can't inspire you for traditional lifestyles.
I split my response into two comments (for it hat gotten longer than I expected).
Cheers and greetings!
It's too late. You already show signs of neoteny. This blockchain network is a part of the new complexity of the Web3 environment. As it is with new tech, it's mostly used by younger people, but we also see some older users playing around with this new blockchain technology. By using this technology, those older Hive users are behaving as if they're young and are therefore extending their juvenile stage. So those of us Hivers who are over 25 are showing signs of neoteny- rejuvenation. You see, neoteny is biological reality, it happens whether you agree with it or not. So welcome aboard, @erh.germany! 😎
