This one's more complicated I think as I remember he's sort of trapped in that position since the guy that's supposed to choose his successor the Chinese got to them and then they chose a pro Chinese person instead.
But on a whole you're not wrong, unfortunate part of being old is some lose their physical ability and some lose their mental faculties
It can be but it's more old age increases your risk of the worst if conditions.
Had a family member get dementia when they got older, they went from the friendliest, chatty and extroverted guy to a reclusive, nervous wreck over the span of 3 years, fuck that condition.
He's 87. He's always been a bit fucking weird (well, since at least, say, the 70s), but I feel like that is the least surprising thing in the world...
Life experience like that (being "the chosen one", leading your people into exile, et al) will fuck you up. It's just that we never saw it on camera quite like this before...
I'm slowly moving towards a 'Logans Run' kind of society where as soon as someone hits 40 we just send them off planet.
Apparently at a certain age every human just becomes a piece of shit.
Imagine a society run by current under-40s...
Just imagine...
You think there would be less of this sort of thing..? I honestly doubt that...
I think in Logan's run it's the AI that's running the whole show.
You are thinking too short term, the reason people under 30 are so shitty is because of the old people pushing their bullshit.
Remove the problem and the youth returns to normal like historically they have always been.
Most of them were pieces of shit as young people too, just better at hiding it before they stopped caring.

Not sure how old the Dalai Lama is but I expect that somewhere between 75-80 you start losing your marbles.
My dad is 83, and he’ll still kick your ass and tell you why. Old age is an alibi abused by many elder folks.
