Reminds me of a saying: “I wish I knew half as much now as I thought I did as a teen.”

liberals who refuse to take the final step from adolescents to independent, fully-functioning adults, certainly are.

“They analysed thousands of played of the hugely popular Starcraft 2 computer game”

Thank you! Just sent the article to my 25 yr. old son in the Navy - who from 14 called everything “retarded”. Now I can tell him he’s retarded!

I wonder what they think about this research in Korea, where Starcraft is revered, almost to the status of a national sport.

It's a trade.

Proficiency for wisdom.

That's why young men are Sargents and old men are Generals.

Just another attempt to convince people that they are dumbed-down.

The headline talks about Cognitive Decline but the story is about cognitive motor performance which is really about the way the brain and body function together. Being young is not better or smarter - I am far more able to understand new things and think them through than I ever was at 25 - Admittedly I was a pretty stupid 25 year old, run of the mill, believe what everyone else does, lefty!

24? Huh. My decline started at 18 and was pretty much done at 22 when I finished college.

I wish someone would do a “study” to determine the cause of mental illness in liberals.

Isaac Newton published his magnus opus — Principia Mathematica when he was in his mid 40’s.

Many of Bach’s greatest musical works were composed in his 40’s and 50’s. Bach assembled his last large work, the Mass in B minor, near the end of his life, when he was in his 60’s.

William Harvey published his famous work done a decade prior” “On the Motion of the Heart and Blood” at nearly age 50.

They claim that as soon as players hit the ripe old age of 25, they have already reached their peak in terms of cognitive motor performance.

That's because years of playing Starcraft turns their brains into jello at an early age.
