    But to be fair, a lot of older people are just as fuckin’ stupid as 18 year olds and barely have progressed mentally. IDK, I’m not really willing to die on this hill, but I don’t think the discourse around it is very convincing.

    Yeah like every maga chud who's 50+ who acts like a complete child when the waiter/waitress at a restaurant isn't treating them like a god. Or the countless politicians who act like complete children and rage out over the dumbest shit. Yea I've never really bought into the mental maturity thing too much b/c to be honest, pretty much everyone who grows up middle class in the US is in some form of arrested development. Especially when compared to how quickly kids have to become "adults" (as in start supporting the family, working, etc.) in the global south.
