Would you rather handle a chainsaw naively or carefully?

as you get older you get more conservative.
as you grow older you learn more and become more mature.
as young you don't know much and are not very mature

Conclusion:

leftism is for retards
right-wing is for intellectuals

try the redpill on for size. It may just prove that everything you were taught in school was a lie

Yes, I think he is expressing the similarities of wisdom and carefulness: when handling the information of the world or writings, to best understand them, to gain wisdom from them, is to read them carefully. To pay attention. maybe, maybe

To be full of care

Eliot already answered this:

What was to be the value of the long looked forward to,
Long hoped for calm, the autumnal serenity
And the wisdom of age? Had they deceived us
Or deceived themselves, the quiet-voiced elders,
Bequeathing us merely a receipt for deceit?
The serenity only a deliberate hebetude,
The wisdom only the knowledge of dead secrets
Useless in the darkness into which they peered
Or from which they turned their eyes. There is, it seems to us,
At best, only a limited value
In the knowledge derived from experience.
The knowledge imposes a pattern, and falsifies,
For the pattern is new in every moment
And every moment is a new and shocking
Valuation of all we have been. We are only undeceived
Of that which, deceiving, could no longer harm.
In the middle, not only in the middle of the way
But all the way, in a dark wood, in a bramble,
On the edge of a grimpen, where is no secure foothold,
And menaced by monsters, fancy lights,
Risking enchantment. Do not let me hear
Of the wisdom of old men, but rather of their folly,
Their fear of fear and frenzy, their fear of possession,
Of belonging to another, or to others, or to God.
The only wisdom we can hope to acquire
Is the wisdom of humility: humility is endless.

I don't understand how increasing your knowledge and life experience wouldn't make you more wise, since that's pretty much what wisdom is. Also, I don't think they become more careful necessarily. I just think the ones that weren't careful die, so you're left with the people that were always careful.
