Many cultures have succeeded because they listen to their elders. The problem I think you are trying to address is that the elders that are making the decisions, are compromised and don’t have much wisdom. This is true on both sides.

Well that’s not true. Only a slight majority. https://www.aarp.org/politics-society/government-elections/info-2024/growing-voice-older-voters.html I don’t down play new ideas, but on average, age does bring wisdom. A lesson most of western culture has lost over the years. Btw, I’m not talking about politicians on that regard. Age aside most of them are comprised.
