Acharya Prashant explains that age and time represent the accumulation of experiences, which function as layers of conditioning on the mind. Every experience causes a physical mutation in the brain, changing brain waves and cells, which ultimately distorts the brain's ability to perceive anything new. This conditioning makes the brain resist the fresh and the original because it is heavily attached to the old. He points out that major revolutions throughout history, such as the Russian and French Revolutions, were led by the youth because the capacity to see a new world diminishes with age. Experienced people often become enemies of the new and the authentic, preferring to support repetitive and traditional patterns.
