It's pretty evident from His recent writings. The pg's opinions on the matter used to be more subtle, but I think in the recent few writings it's more overt. At one point, saying "young, unattached people are better than old people at technology startups" went from a What You Can't Say to something you can wink wink nudge nudge we all know it's true.
In fairness I think he'd also say he's excited to find exceptions to the rule and would encourage any older entrepreneurs to prove him wrong. You can acknowledge certain market realities and still support and maintain a strong meritocracy that doesn't discriminate against outliers.
You would make an amazing political speech writer.
I think this debate boils down to "acknowledging certain market realities" versus "creating market realities." If you advocate youth based startups, you have to define youth, which is entire subjective. "Youth" in this context probably just means "hasn't reached full creative potential."
Of course, people won't think that much. They'll see youth, think 25, then start evaluating the world from that viewpoint.
