    What a load of old bollocks. I’ve changed my whole lifestyle at the age of 60 and loving it. I wouldn’t give old rope for TED talk’s nowadays

      Your brain is fine but she’s still scientifically correct. Your brain keeps changing and you have to adapt your lifestyle to it.

    I appreciate that, in this sound but, she ends by saying all we have is now and to change now. Because making 80% of life altering decisions by 35? That means the majority of people aren’t willing to grow, adapt, or change. I started the major changes in my life at 36. I’d never look back.

    And when I get to end of my life, I’ll look back knowing not a minute was wasted. That would be the point of having a Grandson, which for me, is not in the cards. I learned though. I learned how it was done.

As a sign of that backlash, as Langley spoke on stage, a protest against Flock was taking place outside of Moscone West in San Francisco.
