Their brains literally aren’t fully formed yet. And the prefeontal cortex is the last to develop.
Younger people will always trend towards “anti establishment” because of it, which makes a political landscape incredibly dangerous when the only two options only care about the wealthy.
The best way to prevent fascism is a pro worker socially progressive party.
Neoliberals stole that from us, then made America play Russian roulette 3x in a row with trump as the gun, and we lost twice.
I think that was a good read. I think the problem I have is that if I look back at my 20 year old self or my 23-year-old self, I see someone that was extremely self assured but had almost 0 real world experience or context for decision-making about very important things.
I think it is disingenuous to absolve them of all blame, but I don’t think it’s inappropriate to say that it’s not surprising that they are young men given how easy it would be for someone who should be a role model to influence them. Elon Musk’s team is young so he can control them

That feeling never goes away. I’m 50 and consider the 40yo me to have lacked plenty.
Any line thus becomes quite arbitrary. The point is that there really isn’t anything that supports the trope about “not grown until 25”.
I do not give weight to words spelled wrong.
