Thomas Hobbes called curiosity “the lust of the brain” – and for anyone with a lusty brain, the website Quora is a hotspot. Built as an online community in which members answer one anothers’ questions, it’s a treasure trove of information, opinion and deep insight.

Recently, someone asked the question: “What does it feel like to be in your 80s?” Here’s the response it generated. If you have something to add, it’s easy to set up a profile on the site and chime in – though you might have a hard time coming up with something as thought provoking as animation scriptwriter Stan Hayward’s response.
