Anything that is in the world when you’re
born is normal and ordinary and is just a
natural part of the way the world works.
Anything that’s invented between when
you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and
exciting and revolutionary and you can
probably get a career in it.
Anything invented after you’re thirty-five
is against the natural order of things.

The Phaedrus (ca 370 bc)

will be hearers of many things and will have learned nothing; they will
appear to be omniscient and will generally know nothing; they will be
tiresome company, having the show of wisdom without the reality.
