With my own father and some others I know, I feel like the problem is less with being unable to learn new things then with being unable to unlearn things either which are no longer valid, or which were never valid but it should have become increasing obvious.

Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 6 days agoThis one little paragraph just explained my mom, myself, and the reason the relationship between us is so contentious.
She grows ever more closed-minded every year, while I attempt to learn a new skill every year. We never saw exactly eye-to-eye, but we’re now at a point where we might as well live in different universes. :(
