Because all those people are different, obviously.

By which I mean people in the same peer group who made similar choices nevertheless had wildly different outcomes. Some people that marry are eternal Honeymooners, others went through infidelity and humiliating divorce. On what basis do you decide which one will happen to you?

Also I don't see why the younger colleague should accept he'll be like the older people who don't have evolving music tastes, when there are plenty of older people that do have such tastes*. Whose experiences should he accept?

* Isn't Tyler Cowen an older culture maven?
