Why Genius Doesn’t End After 30

The post disagrees with the idea that genius fades after 30. It pushes back on James Marriott’s claim that young minds are the real drivers of breakthroughs. Einstein and Dylan hit their peaks early, but what about Yitang Zhang solving a major math problem at 55? Or poets like Frost and Shakespeare doing some of their best work later in life?

It turns out, intelligence and creativity don’t just vanish with age. They evolve. So if you’re past 30, 40, 50 ... 90!? and still chasing big ideas, keep going 🚀 History’s on your side.
