what should we call * " W E I R D "* ???
Is this an epitheton for our 'unusual'? or 'unruly'? or 'disorderly'?
I detected that the 'weirdness' (whatever you define it by) of the World
smoothened up as I got older and older. I have more understanding
N O W (in my 90s) for other peoples' shenanigens than I had when I was
30-40 (50-60? (70-80) or even younger?)
I just want one thing to make sure:
to finish this (surely deteriorating existence of mine) while I am in
control,
consciously and in possession of my logical decisionmaking. This is NOT
a suicidal wish, this is a reasonable ending of a long, successful
working
and loving life before becoming a vegetable to satisfy the financial
needs
of goalkeeper strangers. paid for keeping my 'biology' churning.
Unfortunately medics and clerics are not understanding in such matters
and the established law gives them the power to arrange for MY exit.
That depends on where you live.

I would transcribe your 'the world getting weirder' into DETECTING
more weirdness as we get older (= widen our fact-based horizon).
Whatever 'weird' may mean.

I don’t think that only mature-age people think that the fact that
Donald Trump got elected is weird. Perhaps your theory can be
ramped up another tier: not only does the world seem weird to the
elderly but the more human civilisation ages the weirder it
actually does become in some real sense. It feels a bit weird
living in a pre-Donald Trump universe. Surely this weirdness is
real and a metric of something
