At a certain point you stop exploring the world with excitement and interest because you realise you've accumulated so much experience you actually need time out to assimilate it, to heal after the trauma of a significant amount of it.
So you hole up and lick your wounds, which can become boring so you find distractions for yourself and you get used to dwelling in a modern cave with all mod cons.
Hot water on tap, central heating, a dishwasher, a tumble dryer, accessories you cannot live without dictating lifestyle, responsibilities for that lifestyle which has its pros and cons and isn't at all how I wanted to be living and tried to live when I was younger and still out-going.
This healing period becomes a gestation period, housebound doing a lot of research in books, back and forth to the libraries and bookstores, then the Internet emerged so there is putting energy into the community through the technology, which is to say putting energy into the Internet communities.
The advantages of this communication and education platform (if that's how you use it which I do), are the vast library of knowledge uploaded into it from, in some cases, people from the older generation who could be bothered.
Which is quite different from the younger generation whose excitement of exploring the world is limited to the brainwash feed video platforms not appropriate for their generation which my generation and older are struggling to understand.
