Doesn’t mean too much; Dyson started off with a lot of raw ability, obviously, and if you look at the graphs, things like vocabulary or facts are the categories that decline very little or actually increase with age. I don’t believe Dyson is inventing any new ideas in his writing, and the ones I hear about like geoengineering tend to be controversial and possible things that he would one day regret espousing.
BTW, it’s nice to see that Dyson is 88 and still sharp enough to write this well.
