Learning Curb
by S. M. Hutchens
One of the difficulties of advancing age is the weight of a pressing imperative that everything learned earlier must be reviewed and evaluated in light of later learning. I understand this to imply a natural lifespan of the intellect, past which one does not go any more readily than he may escape his allotment of days.
