Not everyone ages at the same rate, or even begins their career with the same capabilities. That's why age 65 is so arbitrary, and essentially unfair.
There are Navy SEAL types in this world and there are pencil pushers. Not all people are equal in ability. Its a blanket "solution" for an individual issue, but so typical of bureaucracies.
I'm tired of society being dumbed down to the lowest common denominator. Humankind is better than that weak solution. Someday I'll be incapable, but not yet.
