Quote:
After a certain age most people are uncomfortable with new
ideas. That certain age varies by person, but if you’re over
fifty-five (mentally) you probably won’t enjoy this thought
experiment. If you’re eighty going on thirty-five, you might
like it. If you’re twenty-three, your odds of liking it are very
good.

Heh nice spin.
Another way to write that would be.
After a certain age most people outgrow childish fantasy. That certain age varies by person but if you’re over fifty-five(mentally) you probably won’t enjoy this fantasy. If you’re eighty going on thirty-five, you might like it. If you’re twenty-three and still immature, your odds of liking it are very good.
Mind you I've only read bits and pieces of it, but that intro struck me as a wee bit presumptuous.
