On an objective sense, the truth value of the ideals of a 5 year old is not so different from that of a 30 year old or a 50 year old. A 50 year old might think of his ideals as the truth that was reveled to him by the process of falsification of the ideals that he had held previously, for example at ages 5 or 30. But truth is subjective. An older man should be able to see that the ideas held by the younger are true inasmuch as his age allows him. The young man is not obliged to see the truth of the old man as he has no prior experience in the subjectivity of truth.
