How different are you now from your younger self?

Not as fit, a bit frayed round the edges but generally reasonably healthy for a novice septagenarian.

My political views have changed over the years with experience. So what I might have supported in my twenties, I now oppose from them having proven faulty; but do understand them better.

I stopped being religious even to the rather nominal level I was, when about twelve, with a mild Anglican background. I have though come to understand religion generally more than I used to. Religion, not 'a' or 'the' religion. One effect is that I can step back from but see through some of the frankly unpleasant, highly-binary arguing about it on here.

Experience has also given me a healthy scepticism about the short-termism and the "now we all", "because we can" and "must have" attitudes, promulgated by self-styled "lifestyle columnists" and unreconstructed gadget-freaks.

I stay steadfast to my interests and hobbies outside of those, though.
