When you’re green, you’re growing. When you’re ripe, you rot. That is it. There is no stasis. When you stop growing, you start shrinking. If you’re not adding new neural networks in your brain by learning new things, you’re losing them due to age and shrinkage.

And yes, this snowman is ABOMINABLE. We must unfreeze and warm up to change, it is that simple.
