So here's something I'm pretty afraid of (and so should you): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3890570/

Basically (it should come as no surprise) our IQs and overall reasoning abilities drop after our early twenties.
What's scary is that there doesn't appear to be much that we can do about it.
Of course I don't take no as an answer so entertain me with your thoughts.
So of course it now makes sense why engineers and software developers get laid off after the age of 35 if they're not placed into management level positions. As someone interested in such fields, I'm pretty discouraged. I'm at the prime of my fluid intelligence, which while above average, is not gifted level and won't compensate for loss of fluid intelligence later in life.
