You’re mistaken. That salary target is much higher.

They want to replace anyone not inbyhe c suite e

Tech that harms us never good

A. I is harmful to every thing humans touch

As is usual with anything humans touch

That was my exact first impression

I had a victrola. My grandma raised me.

Yep. It’s a conspiracy. They’re all against you!

The brain development at that age does allow for far more nuanced decision making, but I agree. The brain developed and decays constantly and differing rates, from my limited understanding , but I do believe that PEAK decision making capabilities don’t occur until an average age that probably is between 25 and 35. But again that’s not basing it solely on ,“brain development”. I should have been more precise.

And, water under the bridge

No you rude shit. I believe in the science involved in brain formation, maturity and it’s response to nature and nurture

You?

You laugh but I said the same thing to him. Told him I’d kick his butt if he didn’t vote next year. We need guys who actually inquire and argue with those in Authority. Even when that authority is his dad lol.

Hey sometimes I’m wrong and he’s right. It happens

I’m assuming by the fact that your rebuttal is still incorrect that you are being impulsive as well.

Where did I say that impulsivity was solely the domain of the young? When did I say it becomes a non factor? When did brexit become the litmus test for impusivity? Shouldn’t that honor go to Trump’s election?

All I said. ALL I am saying. Is that impulse control isn’t finished developing until our twenties, and yes that means that Teena agers are more impulsive.

That’s not a controversial stance. It’s facts.

So your attempt at a rebuttal isn’t even discussing the point. Which isn’t that impulsivity ever goes away, but that our development in that area isn’t “finished” in our brain during that time.

Other factors affect impulsivity, from education to personal experiences so it’s never really " done" developing in many ways. And a younger person who has gone through some serious shit will usually be way less impulsive than a sheltered older person.

But I digress. The point is, you’re incorrect…

Yeah, I’m not saying I have all the answers or that I’m not missing something, but the way it stands it’s a bad idea. It needs thought, a process developed and guardrails in place.

I will say this. As well. I have a 17 year old extremely intelligent son. He works. He ain’t ready to vote. He’ll be the first to say it as well.

Those are good questions

I do think that our voting public needs more education and we needed to have age appropriate, and yes , at times medical consitions may have to be looked at.

I feel that the last part I can speak to a bit( I am not a doctor or anything) as I grew up with a mother who was left with extreme tbi after an accident but could still function in society.

But she didn’t vote. She didn’t have any grasp of what was happening politically. She was never told not to, but I think somehow she knew.

Honestly there are ways to disseminate the voting information enough that those who can grasp the vote should.

I have no easy answers though. It’s not an easy question

Yep. To all of what you said.

Still. It’s a bad idea. I think we all know it if we really think about

No. They made no point. What they did was blame the poor showing in that vote on older people. That isn’t what I said at all.

Said nothing about brexit, nor does the reply to me address anything I posted.

So no. You and they have missed the point.

Mm hmmm. So where did I say any of that? and your argument is poor. 16 and 17 year olds were not legally able to vote so you have no data to back up your outburst

Until they decide to troll vote.

You know that impulse control doesn’t fully develop till ones twenties

That is beyond stupid. Hell our brains aren’t fully developed at 18 , at 16?

Fuck reddit. It’s become a right wing honey pot
