It's even worse when you feel it happening

It also happens surprisingly fast. Which is why it's so hard to spot.

Every single person and animal who has ever lived on this planet or others was once younger than you are.

Let the labyrinth of wrinkles be furrowed in my brow with the red-hot iron of my own life, let my hair whiten and my step become vacillating, on condition that I can save the intelligence of my soul - let my unformed childhood soul, as it ages, assume the rational and esthetic forms of an architecture, let me learn just everything that others cannot teach me, what only life would be capable of marking deeply in my skin!

Despite a cracking down on child labor in the western world, less % of people enjoy their youth than ever in recorded history.

First of all, what's your source for that? It seems hard to get data on. Second of all, I could understand that. The schooling system used in much of the western world is great at making docile factory workers, but not so great at making happy, emotionally healthy and creative people.

Thought experiment not factual.
