Willenium tugs our sleeve and says: Tell us why the past was a bit shit. You may wish to use witty anecdotes reflecting your own personal experience.

Conservatism is all in the knees
at least the small 'c' kind.
If our interactions with our environment can shape our world view, resistance to change then must come with ageing joints. Why else would people keep insisting that the past was much better unless they associate change with having to get up.
If getting up comes with the sound effects of creaking knees and breathing out with a 'hurrrooomph' sound, no wonder people would rather remain seated even if it means looking back with rose tinted glasses.
That's my thoughts on the matter anyway

Hmm. Think I can go with your basic concept
that a large part of the way we turn out is environmental rather than genetic. My knees now creak but I'm not a nostalgic type. Too busy looking forward to fit wing mirrors.
I'm sure there are many who fit your picture though.
Ref. your hurrrooomph (sic) noises. I read somewhere that if you don't make old person noises you don't become one quite as soon. You can see I'm clutching at straws here can't you?
