Yes and no. The mind deteriorates at a slower rate than the body but science confirms that younger people have a greater learning capacity than older people. Still the brain can be better maintained than the body. 

While I am not acquainted with the actual studies, my logic tells me "older" people have problems with learning primarily stemming from the fact that they have a harder time detaching themselves form everyday problems like paying bills, and those preconceived ideas we build in ourselves concerning different disciplines (e.g. "omg! I will never be able to learn this!!!"). People occupy themselves with things that in the end matter very little...

Wife and me are 34. We had a studying hiatus of more than 5 years (after the more intensive part of) university and just recently we started all sorts of new studies, very different from our prior education. I can honestly say that I have less problems now than I used to have. The difference is that this time round IT IS MY OWN CHOICE to study and not an environmental expectation. We have no children and our current income exceeds our requirements, so there is nothing really to distract us except ourselves.

Without turning this into a debate, I can say that these days at 35 when I lift heavy weights in the gym I have joint issues I did not even have 5 years ago. Sure, I can ignore the pain but that would be foolish. This is clearly a result of age.

Troof.

Body will age and degrade regardless of the mind. Glucosamine can only do so much.

You know, you actually remind me of myself when I was 23 and often went drinking with 20 year olds. It was liberating to feel wiser. At 23... :o

Well I'm a bit younger than you but I don't have to lift weights to have joint issues, which I already have especially in the cold like right now. Sure it hurts but I can ignore it. If I can't then I just take pills and then ignore it. So pain doesn't just come with age, it can come at any time. And 35 is not old at all. You're making it seem like you're in your 80's or something.

Not necessarily. I've known people at age 35 and even 40 that have no issues with joints. Just depends on how well you take care of your body as you age. And sometimes you need to hone your mind in order to take care of your body and know your limits.

It's only as true as you make it.
I have a messed up wrist. Bad accident. It gets painful in the winter time, but if I don't dwell on it then it doesn't hurt so bad.

"The trick is not minding that it hurts."


I have the same thing. My hand twinges whenever it gets cold enough. Sporting injury for me.



Similar thing happens with my knee because some fat kid fell on it in rugby last year.<_<

Then again league is ass now that shoulder charges have been banned.


Mine was done mountain biking. Broke my left ring finger bone in the hand in a twist break and had to get 2 screws in it. Hurts 24/7 in winter.

There's a reason why I imagined Stardusk with a long white beard before I saw his photo :lol:

Agree with this. Nearly lost my left hand due to a motorbike accident, and it hurts like a **** when I carry heavy stuff with it, but as long as you don't think about it, you completely forget it. Same thing with age I suppose. Mind over matter Stardusk, mind over matter :)


Ah...that is how you got your cyborg implants! [smilie]http://social.bioware.com/images/forum/emoticons/w00t.png[/smilie] I have discovered your secret! The bionic man!


Meh, I'd give back my cyborg implants if I could ^_^, I'd rather be able to feel something, anything from 2 of my fingers than nothing

Interestingly enough there is no conclusive proof that Glucosamine actually helps the joints. Some studies confirm this, others don't.

It did seem to help with a knee issue I was having but it took a few days to a week to subside, so there's a chance it was just my body healing regardless of the glucosamine.

 If some studies confirm glucosamine, it might be more than just placebo. Just because different studies contradict each other does not mean it's immediately a placebo effect.
I feel like I have to post my picture too. Literally everyone has been posting them :?

Isn't the placebo effect proof of mind over matter? ;)

When I conjure up an image of you I think of an ever-flowing stream of subatomic particples uttering throaty, gutteral Dutch fricatives whilst manipulating the electromagnetic spectrum.

But why does Sten need to say that in his signature about Sirian? That was the puzzling part.

Just thought I'd let people know that Sirian started as a console peasant, and if he can make it to the top, anyone can :D

For some, transcendence means a great deal. Sten's ascension to the PC must have been such an occurence.
