    Your brain works fine when you’re under 25 (no matter how ‘inconvenient’ this fact may be)

    In-lieu of the young guys working on Musk’s behalf, the old “Your brain isn’t fully developed until your 25 claim” has emerged yet again

    Here’s why it’s BS

      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”.
