It's always been striking to me how how Elizabethan English is a little unconventional but strikingly similar to Modern English, and even Middle English is recognizable, but Old English is effectively an entirely different language.

Of all the criticisms Elon Musk gets, the one I hear from women is that he wants to go to outer space. That's a huge difference between men and women. Women think it's pointless megalomania. Men think it's not just good for its own sake, it helps justify the human race.
