To be fair to Brooks, and I'm being serious here when I'm saying "to be fair to Brooks," no one is ever too old to make positive discoveries. That he is enthusiastic enough to want to write about the issue and show it to the world, shows he's either A) somewhat sincere in his thoughts or B) finding positive encouragement to try and think this way. Naive or not, cloistered or not, elitist or not, awkward metaphors or not, he's trying here, and that's something to be not only encouraged, but celebrated.This is effectively LolBrooks going "hey you guise like young people are interesting and shit" because he just learned that.
