There’s probably one-percent of the population that has reached maximum maturity at age 15, and will never advance much past that point. I mean that in the negative sense.
Dang, those founding fathers are continually proven to be right on the money.......
Well, it used to be 21.
OTOH, when I was in the Air Force I was responsible for repairing multi-million dollar aircraft that other mens' lives depended on working properly.
So I think its a 'nature vs. nurture' thing. If you raise a SoyBoy, he won't be an adult until his 30s. If you raise a man, he could be a man at 17.
We all matured faster when the majority of our day was spent trying to survive.....cutting wood, gathering food, hunting, cooking, cleaning, building, etc.
As humanity progressed, the need for children to “grow up” quickly has been reduced. Now, children can focus on childhood, education and not about surviving and the struggles of everyday life.
Not long ago, when children entered the workforce, they had struggles...pay rent, food, socialize, etc. Today, those struggles are far less than ever before....delaying the maturization process.
Oh, bull-chit. The brain matures at 25, and until sometime in the 20th Century, we were damn well expected to be adults by age 21.
I recall reading somewhere that the age of legal adulthood in 18th century France was 24. Perhaps that is the direction we should go, instead of giving children more and more rights that they do not have the maturity to exercise properly.
There is a reason the left targets the young. They need an audience that is too immature and inexperienced to see through their scams.
“Maybe RAISING the voting age is the way to go.”
My first thought precisely. People change. In this age of snowflakes, safe spaces, and group hugs, the voting age should be raised to at least twenty-five.
This is very old news.
The prefrontal cortex does not develop until age 25, and never develops in some people.
All the drug use. Both legal and illegal hinders brain development.
With all of the fake science that is more about virtual signalling than actual science, why should we believe any study ever again?
JoMa
Actually the brain keeps growing into old age. Most people however don’t continue growing, but instead atrophy.
Brain operating frequencies are typically between 0 to 30 Hz for the entire life of most people. The gamma frequency begins at 30 and goes to at least 250 Hz. This is what happens in spiritual awakening and is how the mystics do what they do.
Gamma frequencies of consciousness were not even discovered until 1964 when digital EEGs were developed.
George Armstrong Custer was a Brigadier General at age 23.
Somewhere Natzi Pelosi is deeply saddened by this news.
So Democrats want 16 year olds to vote?
I thought this was common knowledge, the fact that Jesus never started his
ministry util 30 was a pretty good sign.
Some people watch funny cat videos because they love cats and they are funny. It has nothing to do with age. They love cats!
Will millenials ever be recognized as adults??
Absolutely no doubt in my mind it should be raised to at least 30 unless you are a combat veteran of the US armed forces.
