A particular subset of the world’s population think a particular age group think they learn some objective truth about “life” by conflating older age with life experience and/or knowledge

Not so good at recognizing Shakespearean or Biblical allusions--I never miss a Flipper quote, though.

Don't give your conscience a reason to kick your ass. Why because it won't stop, ever. This includes regrets over having done nothing.
Enable everyone else to do so as well. You may have heard about people without a conscience - they are the tiniest of minorities and not virulent, unless you let them make the rules.
Well, it's not much of a philosophy, I know. I'll be 40 in April.

What you gain on the swings, you lose on the roundabouts: you may have some good early mornings, but you're more tired late evening.

Make the best out of the bad, just laugh it off. You didn't have to come here anyway. (I do a poor job of living by these words.)

Laughing it off is a probably a bit manic in the face of suffering and tragedy.....Probably best to settle for the Buddha’s smile of calm acceptance and inner amusement at seeing the divine comedy of life.

After the dissolution of your last dregs of dignity and self respect, the prospects of wearing cardboard clown shoes en-route to Skid Row and dying there very soon, don't seem so bad.
I haven't sold one fortune cookie yet.
