Colonel Harland Sanders is one of the most famous seniorkinds. He founded Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) at the age of 65, turning his secret fried chicken recipe into a global fast-food empire. His story is one of perseverance and determination, showing that age is no barrier to entrepreneurial success.

Laura Ingalls Wilder, another inspiring seniorkind, published her first book at the age of 65. Her "Little House on the Prairie" series has since become a beloved staple of American literature, chronicling her childhood experiences on the American frontier and captivating readers for generations.

Grandma Moses, born Anna Mary Robertson Moses, began her painting career in her late 70s. Despite starting late, she became a renowned seniorkind, with her works displayed in museums around the world. Her story is a testament to the idea that creativity and talent can flourish at any age.

seenyoreity

A loftier social/leadership status due to one's having experienced an earlier time-period.
Just because someone has "seenyoreity" over you doesn't necessarily mean dat he's a wiser or more-learned individual than you are --- many people have just cluelessly "drifted through da decades" without actually picking up or "absorbing" much of what they've been exposed to along da way.
