Tyrant

• At his potential second inauguration, he would be 82, beating himself in becoming the oldest among American presidents.
• In 1783, for example, at age 51, Gen. George Washington resigned his military commission and took a hard look at himself.
• Washington wasn’t that old, really, although the average life expectancy in that era was 38.
• Old people today, so to speak, are much younger than they used to be, especially when they are wealthy.

Old ‘machines,’ giving way

• In opposition to “the Old England vices,” America was envisioned as springing out from the creativity of the young.
• During a period when medicine and knowledge of human anatomy were all but rudimentary, old age terrified everyone.
• But it would be wrong to assume that the founding generation simply despised old age.
• Young America admired venerable old sages – Moses of the Bible, first and foremost.

Prophetic old age

• He looked like a sage, a living classic “contemporary with Plato,” as if he had come directly from “the age of Cato and of Fabius.” While Franklin was much more than just someone performing a task, old leaders, back then, could still look to the future and attend to many types of tasks as well.
• In 1798, after he had completed two terms as president, a worn-out Washington, age 66, was ready to serve again in a military capacity.
• In what he described as “the Hobby of my old age” he devised, organized and built a public university, the University of Virginia.
• The University of Virginia, Jefferson believed, would create better leaders who would halt the “threatening cloud of fanaticism” polluting the “atmosphere of our country.” Biden is old.
• Yet, had he lived in that earlier age, like his more illustrious predecessors, his value would have likely outweighed his deficits in the eyes of his country – a youthful country fighting against the ossified leadership of its British colonial overlords, but also aware of the wisdom that certain old leaders could still provide.
