It seems like people are prone to discounting others based on their age groups.
- Zeroes through twenties: You're safe to ignore because you're inexperienced and don't have a network of powerful friends.
- Thirties through fifties: You're getting more powerful every day and are treated with wariness and respect.
- Sixties through death: You're powerful so people are quick to placate you, but many people think they can outlast you.
