Some old bodies die with juvenile minds..minds that never went beyond the sophomoric. Why that is I cannot say for sure. Perhaps what the brain surrounded itself with. What the brain embraced as real when it wasn't. When the brain is gullibly susceptible to snake oil salesfolks...con artist scam artists duplicitous knaves and varlets it follows believes and shuts out everything else.
Some minds see right through that and are never affected at all.
Other minds embrace it as a salvation or saviour sent by their CREATOR and are loyally devoted to it. Thus stunted mental growth.
Can it ever be reversed? I don't know for sure but I don't think so.
The best a mind can learn is when it is young. As it ages it hardens and firms up and solidifies and petrifies.
