“Humans are not capable of making long term, rational decisions in their late teens and early 20s.”
What nonsense. If you’re an idiot, then you’ll make stupid decisions your whole life. This just an excuse to do whatever you want and then blame your youth for doing things you probably knew were stupid. It’s the result of this “no consequence” culture. People used to be married and working jobs by the age of 20. Instead we’ve been allowed to prolong our youth, and that’s why young men and women are virtually babies who vote based on what they “want” instead of what the country needs.
There is some truth to it and it has to do with maturity.
People are maturing at a later age these days. Back in the day, the path was clearer for people — job, marriage, children. Probably driven by culture and tradition. Now it can happen any random order.
Very well said.
