    He’s the oldest, but most mentally healthy by far. If his heart hangs in there he should be able to.

        It’s far from inevitable that old people get brain-rot. The risk increases with age, but is never overwhelmingly high.

        My grandfather made it to 101, and he only slowed down a bit mentally in his final year, and even then, more because of his hearing getting much worse than due to any cognitive decline. I’m a strong chess player, and he could still hand me my ass when he was in his late 90s.
