Philosophers are ageless. They practice learned ignorance, so they are open to being surprised by something and interested to understand it. They practice self awareness, so they are rather conscious of their own rational and emotional reactions to the world, which is already a first step in having authorship of those reactions. They practice critical thinking, so they are agile and light in their thinking, not dogmatic, when proven wrong. They practice distance, so they are able to observe themselves and others from a point of clarity. They practice their teacher role, passing down to the next generation their methods, so they are commonly found amongst the youth who are reliably a fountain of new ideas. They practice their student role, so they are always in search of new inspiration, of learning something new. They practice irony, so they do not take themselves, the other, or their work too seriously. They mediate dialogues between students of wisdom who lived centuries ago and students of wisdom today, so they transcend time.
