The avid cryptozoologists in my extended social sphere are among the least interesting people I know, so I think you are on to something here.

It’s a nifty little Mormon trick!
The choice is stark. Toil in bitterness till death or make a way to be involved in building something better . . . till death.
Either way it ends the same. One path makes for a better interim.
That’s my experience and advice too. I just naturally find friends that are on average 15 years younger than me. I’m early 50s and most friends are mid-30s. Working at a university for years sort of established that pattern and it has remained even though i went corporate.
I mean, have you met US Americans in their 50s? For me it’s the lack of imagination they tend to exhibit. I’m a perpetual child myself, no kids, no plans or desire for any. Younger friends have interests and dreams, still. I do too!
I find the quiet desperation that oozes from people in my age cohort to be off putting. If you are desperate, stop being quiet about it!
Having younger friends keeps me optimistic because younger generations seem to have looked behind the curtain and have partially deconstructed the illusions we are ruled by. Maybe there’s hope?
People need to have this phrase yelled at them frequently in the US.
