How about age limits for government officials as well? Or at least the senate. The grandma at the tax form place in city hall is ok even if she a bit slow.
personally think it’s less a problem with age. age limits are arbitrary and likely have no basis in science (within reason). however i do think it could be advantageous to require a variety of ages of people, and somehow weight their input, but that process may destroy the inherent value of a representative democracy; if we let everyone speak nothing will get done.
personally i think hard term limits and ranked choice voting would fix the majority of issues caused by generational gaps.
If we can guarantee accurate census data, we could reach a decent basis with age limits doing +/- 10 years of the average age of the area being represented. Probably with a minimum age of 25 or something along those lines.
