I like the way this reframes aging as a design challenge rather than a biological verdict. The emphasis on environment, expectations, and visibility feels especially accurate. What people are surrounded by often matters more than their age, whether that is physical space, social norms, or the stories being reinforced around them. The examples you give make it easier to see how later life can support creativity, adaptability, and contribution when conditions invite it. This reads less like motivation and more like a practical lens for building lives, communities, and systems that allow people to keep participating rather than quietly stepping aside.
