Ooh, feeling ignored? Yeah, don’t ask embarrassing questions that counter the prevailing narrative , like age 68 in Japan , or the other 13 countries who have higher than 65 to no age limits for pilots; like Canada, Costa Rica, etc.
What kind of group think lemming are you?

So many US pilots are unsafe due to medical issues? What's your proposed solution? And what you base them being unsafe? Not by hull loss per hours flown; that's declined markedly.

You can’t point to these other countries with higher retirement age limits and simultaneously ignore their far more rigid medical process. Are we going to pretend like nearly everyone doesn’t go to the easiest AME they can find? Think that’s a thing outside the US? That’s the point he was making.

I had a conversation with a pilot in his late 40s recently. He said he knew the age would eventually increase. He just wishes that it doesn’t happen for a few more years.

More rigid medical test would keep pilots from hiding these conditions. Do I necessarily want this, no.. but at the same time there comes a point where they are necessary to keep pilots from putting the public in danger.
