The brain development theory is just an excuse to infantilize prime age adults.
Neurophysiology doesn't automatically mean psychology.
The whole "25 is the new 18" is being promoted due to the average adult in postmodern era being a sad willful loser who wants to give up autonomy to save face from their loserdom.
I notice the people who support raising the age of majority are often those who willfully decided to waste their youth instead getting their shit together.
If we decide to delay adult hood until the mid twenties, parents will have more economic strain.
The retirement age will have to be raised to the eighties.
Schools will have to do more to accommodate more students who by right should be contributing to society.
We will have less vital-bodied workers which means more liability.
The brain development theory is just encouraging behavioral sink.
>et me fuck 15 year olds please pleeeease
>>752854>Criticising the brains development theory means you're a pedophile So you admit that you think young adults are helpless infants
>>752856>>Criticising the brains development theory means you're a pedophile yes.
>>752858How?
Why is it that anything discussion about young people is always automatically assumed to be sexual?
If anything, if you sincerely think my OP is sexual in nature, I think you're insecure and immature.
>>752854I wonder how this defense will get used for dowsing rods, evolutionary psycology and string theory.
during marx's time it was normal for 16 year olds to join the workforce. if only that were still the case so people were overall less retarded and sheltered
>>752851>The brain development theory is just encouraging behavioral sink.not many decades ago you had the neurodivergent fighting to be recognized as independent able-bodied adults now they are fighting to remain toddlers forever lmao
>>752854>>752858if anything wanting arrested development to be a more common phenomenon by letting people remain manchildren forever makes you more likely to be a rapist because it is much easier to manipulate vulnerable people lol
>>752984>i cant be an adult bc im not making 5 figurespeak amerilard rofl, pretty sure people who are forced to work unskilled labor mature faster than the multitude of engineer manchildren you see on places like reddit (or here)
>>752989What's wrong with engineers?
>>752992a necessary evil (unlike other educated professionals)
>I cannot see how you can speak of the ignorance of the masses in Germany after the brilliant evidence of political maturity shown by the workers in their victorious struggle against the Anti-Socialist Law. The patronizing and errant lecturing of our so-called intellectuals seems to me a far greater impediment. We are still in need of technicians, agronomists, engineers, chemists, architects, etc., it is true, but if the worst comes to the worst we can always buy them just as well as the capitalists buy them, and if a severe example is made of a few of the traders among them — for traders there are sure to be — they will find it to their own advantage to deal fairly with us. But apart from the specialists, among whom I also include schoolteachers, we can get along perfectly well without the other “intellectuals.” The present influx of literati and students into the party, for example, may be quite damaging if these gentlemen are not properly kept in check.https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1890/letters/90_08_21.htm >>752989I work full time and still can't afford rent. I don't know a single adult friend that can actually afford their own place.
>>753010? reread my post until you get it
>>752851>Neurophysiology doesn't automatically mean psychology.Clarify this. Do you believe there is some kind of separate spirit outside human biology?
>>753012not all neurophysiological theories automatically imply specific psychological traits or behavior patterns and neuroplasticity just means the brain continues to adapt and change throughout life but midwits who only consoom pop science drive discourse
>>753027>Middle classLook man, I just need shelter and food
>>753034That's just a sharteen trying to shut the tor node down, just report and move on.
>postmodern era being a sad willful loser who wants to give up autonomy to save face from their loserdom.
zero-historical materialism radlibs really believe they can lecture anyone, you sound like one of Jeffrey Epstein's bourgeois friends
>behavioral
sage all soy neoliberal threads you see
>>753033well the problem isn't with maturity per se but with the fact that we tie in societal benefits with a conception of maturity (because of Kant yada yada yada)
This means that in practicality, your suggestion of delaying the onset of legal maturity means that we need to raise the voting age, the age barrier for legal drinking, for driving, for arms ownership, for permanent job contract , etc etc.
And when we combine this with modern sciences increasing our lifespan, we are dealing with a society controlled by a group of 70 to 100 year olds, with an entire generation of young people being denied political and indeed individual franchise because they are not considered mature yet. Yes this means you, (yes, (you)) will have to listen to your dad and mom until you are in your mid 30s. Do you want that fucking scenario?
>>753061>Yes this means you, (yes, (you)) will have to listen to your dad and mom until you are in your mid 30s. Do you want that fucking scenario?Too late this already happened to me. It's over.
>>752989>>753027what is the point of maturity if my life is ass? I'm not buying the bullshit that I just have to learn to take it, I will not take it, I will not just accept the hand I'm dealt because it is the 'adult' thing to do.
the truth is I'm getting ripped off, and I will not power through it, fuck you.
>>753033Even if this were true, there’s a limit to what nature can do. And if I recall, people complain about declining academic scores.
This idea of slowing down maturation to allow for more intelligence is paradoxical.
Also, it’s gonna up a huge strain on society by forcing young adults to remain like toddlers.
>>753103Then you can be left on the streets to starve. Wanting to extend childhood to cope with your low prospects is what makes people more vulnerable.
>>752980This.
People think allowing young adults any freedom is encouraging rape of young adults.
Yet, most cases of grooming are often socially maladaptive young people who willfully run off with the wrong crowd due to social deprivation
Leftists and liberals claim to champion equality but then wanna shut down young people.
>>753016This.
It’s sad that urban myths have become the cornerstone of intellectual conversation for average people.
It’s not just the brain development theory but also others such as “all life begins female in the womb”.
>>753061>Yes this means you, (yes, (you)) will have to listen to your dad and mom until you are in your mid 30s. Do you want that fucking scenario?Millennials and Gen Z seem to want that surprisingly enough.
All the therapy speak culture about “trauma” and helicopter parents and stranger danger and sexlessness has sapped them of their will of live.
Why else is “adulting” a thing?
>>753111I would think I would kill myself before that but then again I'd be too useless to do that too.
