Simon. You were obviously trying to be controversial ... nothing wrong in using that as a way to promote discussion! I don't think there's always reduced malleability in opinions as one grows older - I guess one gets comfortable with the status quo but one may also base opinions on experience and require evidence to change that opinion. For example, some of my peers on this site would consider my pro EU views intransigent; however, it's based on the fact that EU (actually it was the EEC then) membership coincided with the start of my working life and overall I've only seen benefits from it; I've not seen any evidence of significant benefits yet from Brexit that would make me change that opinion, but I have seen many immediate disadvantages. However, one of many interests is astronomy and astrophysics, and one certainly can't have fixed opinions in that area. In the areas of car ownership and use my opinions have certainly shifted over the past ten (fifteen?) years, as has my view that the evidence for climate change means that global warming is a pending disaster of civilisation: the evidence is now overwhelming. I'd say most of my friends have similar views on the EU, climate change, etc but I suppose such groups are self selecting to a large extent - but I do have some friend I disagree with on Brexit  ... although some of those seem to have some doubts now.
