Like, look at your parent's yearbooks. They were in high school looking 35. 13 with full beards. Even in pre mid century photos, top hats and all that, why did they look so old in the face?


I've heard new age hotep theories that we're becoming less dense as The Age of Aquarius approaches, and I sometimes wonder if it's simply associative bias where we see artifacts as old even in their time.


Children are going through puberty earlier now, and they still don't seem to age as rapidly as past generations.

What do u think?

I actually read an article on this earlier in some french magazine about how girls went through puberty earlier now, was some real scientific reasons, but unfortunately don't remember them.

Also like some brehs said, I think it mostly has to do with the lifestyle back then being harder, and what we eat now. But also like @Thomas said they way we dress etc, in olden days everyone was more formal and some young people wanted to look older to be seen as "grown-ups", now it's the opposite : "grown-ups" want to look like young people. We are also in an "entertainment" society, where we went from work and family as being the most important things to "having fun" and "enjoying one's life" being the main goal for most. So I would assume that has an impact on how we live and how we physically look.
