>intelligence peaks at age 21 and declines>the oldest chest grandmaster is 58, the youngest is 12>most normies think einstein was old when he did most of his work. in reality he discovered relativity in his early-mid 20's and published at 26. He famously said 'he who has not made his great discovery to science by age 30 will never do so.'>newton made most of his great discoveries in his early 20's>tesla in his mid-late 20s>early 30's is approaching retirement age for elite performers whether mental or physical>average age of elite performers in classical music is 23-25>same with average age of chess GM's, around 25why the fuck do normies think a 50+ year old president is a good idea, let alone a 60+ one? the ideal president should be like 35
>>222249465>chest grandmaster
>>222249465>why the fuck do normies think a 50+ year old presidentNigga you dropped a massive blackpill and THIS is what you were getting at? Seriously kill yourself
>>222249465Unc cope incoming..
>>222249465Old people are old and retarded. Unfortunately now they're also numerous so they can enforce their delusions on everyone else
>>222249465I think it's a question of speed of intelligence vs accumulated knowledgeA 34 year old probably has slightly slower processing speed than a 25 year old but he has more accumulated knowledge and experience
>>222249914the thing is you don't accumulate knowledge limitless or indefinitely either. you're constantly both accumulating and losing/forgetting stuff, and the rate of accumulation declines while the rate of forgetting speeds up the older you getthere's also just a limit for most skills and abilities of like 5k-10k hours where further practice does not provide any additional benefit by itself
>>222249465i wouldn't trust a president of my age. it's about temperance. doesn't matter if you can technically learn things faster or have slightly better memory if you're just gooning all day because you're an impulsive retard.too old is also bad, though. i agree. but not as bad as you think it is. a good leader has advisors and knows when to defer to them, it's not about knowing everything and thinking fast. young people are less likely to listen to others so they're worse at that too.
>>222250160Right I agree but I was talking about a 34 year old not a 50+ year old. There's probably a slight decline in your thirties but it's not drastic quite yet at that pointIt's a tradeoff between speed of acquisition vs already having a body of knowledge and experiences to draw from
>>222249465Politics is about networking and the ability to fundraise. Guess which age group is best at that.
>>222249465because politics is not about intelligence, its about social capital
>>222249465Politics isn't about intelligence
>>222249828Well the other takeaway is that there needs to be massive educational reform. people should be learning real skills much earlier in childhood rather than wasting it with the current schooling busywork where they statistically forget 90% of what they learn. For most of human history you would be doing the things you would be doing for the rest of your life from a very early age. It should be the same now - start learning about programming, engineering, business, CG, whatever at like 6-12 rather than still trying to 'figure out' what they want to do at 22. And most kids are capable of getting started at these things at a very young age if they're interested in the topicCurrently society produces adults graduating from high-school and college at 18 and 22 with no real skills whatsoever and the vast majority of their schooling is completely inefficient and wasteful. If you even do 3 hours a day of practice at your future career skill starting at 10 you'll already have 10k+ hours by the time you're 20
Out of curiosity I checked and turns out there's an interesting pattern in which the first US presidents were very old, then they got younger and younger in the late 19th and very early 20th centuries, and since the 1920s onward they started getting older again.
>>222250680and I of course don't mean that kids shouldn't be taught math or whatever just that the current setup is 80%+ time waste and there are much ebtter ways to do itthe main thing is that people do not learn by storing a bunch of isolated little bits of information, any durable learning is always about forming stable mental networks/connections. E.g I learned a lot of math when I learned game programming and I still know it all today, but I basically forgot all the algebra/geometry/etc I learned in high school
Intelligence does not peak at 21 what the fuck?
>>222250872Thought processing might, its made up by experience and wisdom. Id say the 50s and 60s are where people peak, no dementia/old age (usually) + loads of experience
>>222250749It's because Teddy Roosevelt was too based and the elites made sure that would never happen again
>>222250872yes they do, this is well known fact not some kind of vague assertion. all basic mental abiltiies reach their peak somewhere between 17-25. Things like experience/wisdom/crystallized intelligence continue improving later but, the thing is that you can already have a lot of experience very early on. e.g the average 21 year old classical music performers already have over 10k+ hours of practiceThis is also not the fault of the individual but the society. Someone has to actually start teaching you this shit while you're a kid no one does it all on their own
>>222250749>the first US presidents were very old, New fragile society, old established figure carries a sense of stability >then they got younger and younger in the late 19th and very early 20th centuriesRapidly modernizing and industrializing but birth rates still high, change in the air, society needed leaders that carry forward explosive change >and since the 1920s onward they started getting older again.Stagnation , post-indistrialization aging populations
Im unc age and I prefer a group of 15-19 yo high IQ girls as country leader. They sensitive to pressure thus avoid crazy military/economic decision and can sense turnmoil faster than males. Plus getting commanded by them make my cock hard
>>222251120What about some drugs that make brain more plastic again? Don't some psychedelics give a temporary boost to brain plasticity
>>222251120Not gonna lie this is bitter to read as a late 20s guy. My peak is over and i didnt do shit with it. Fuck lmao. Doesnt mean i should be lazy tho
>>222250680Governments want a "one size fits all" solution because that's cheap and easy, so students have to learn a very shallow amount from a dozen different subjects. Doing psychological tests every few years on every child to narrow down on their interests and natural skills would probably help to tailor school programs a lot better, but that takes time and resources.I unironically think you could probably throw AI or even just an app at this problem. Have every kid take a battery of psych tests on the last day of school every year. Hiring an army of psychologists to administer and grade those tests for every single child would be monumentally expensive and slow, but relatively easy to automate>>222251120Presidents are not solving differential equations on a timer though, they don't even do most of the intellectual heavy lifting in their administration, their entire job is delegating and wrangling people. Crystallized intelligence and experience is probably far more important than creative thinking. That and also I think you get better at managing stress and pressure as you age.
>>22224946535 is the minimum age to be president, which was set in a time when life expectancy was much shorter than it is now.
>>222251290Most people don't, it's the catch-22 of youth. You have it all but you're too immature to do anything with it.
>>222249465I have gay retard zoomer fatigue
I was a retard at 25
>>222249465>why the fuck do normies think a 50+ year old president is a good idea, let alone a 60+ one? the ideal president should be like 35how old are you?
>>222249465>intelligence peaks at age 21 and declinesLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.Said no one, ever
B-but you are a child before the age of 25 because prefrontal cortext o algo
>>222253289Yeah, just look at all those genuises in 4chan in the 20-25yo range
Im not some old fag coping but at 35 your actual life has only barely started. Theres a reason middle aged starts at 40. 35 is quite young, its not shit. I wouldnt trust a 35 year old to run a country.All the super young pms did terrible jobs too
>>222251530you don't even need to do all that. You can just shrink the time spent on general education (most of which is currently extremely wasteful so its perfectly practical to cut it down) and offer more variety of classes where kids are actually taught how to do something
>>222249465>muh president should be smartpresident is just a shabbos goy for jews. no brainpower needed
