In this podcast, we're discussing old age and when, exactly, it befalls us. Do we simply wake up one day absent of youth? Or can we estimate its proximity by certain metrics, such as daily medication or number of grandchildren? We take a look at how old age has been historically codified, and reason why it might not be just a number.

A few things we mentioned in this podcast:

- The Sorites Paradox
- Mortality in England and Wales: past and projected trends in average lifespan
- Perception of when old age starts has increased over time
- Cognitive Engineering: Seven Ages: First Puking and Mewling
