Is it true that brains don't fully mature until age 25 or is psuedoscience?
>cite source of undeveloped prefrontal cortex prior to 25>call such fact a mythLet me guess. Undeveloped prefrontal cortex?
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8439426/>The review of neuroanatomic and neurophysiologic studies across methods and approaches indicates considerable convergence of findings with respect to brain maturation during childhood, adolescence and early adulthood. The overwhelming weight of the evidence supports the early postmortem studies indicating that the main index of maturation, which is myelination, is not complete until sometime in the beginning of the third decade of life (probably at around age 20–22). Other maturational processes, such as the increase and subsequent elimination (“pruning”) in cell number and connectivity and increased neuronal density, as well as establishing white matter integrity with increased energy efficiency as reflected in reduced tissue diffusivity and cerebral blood flow, likewise are incomplete until the late teens and early twenties
>>16974713Speak to any college professor who teaches both intro classes (18 years old) and upper level classes (21-22 years old). They will all unanimously agree about a maturity difference between the students where 18-19 years literally look and behave more like children while 20+ year olds look and behave more like adults. This isn't an academic statement either, it's simply an environment where it's trivially easy to see the hard line difference in behavior and maturity. I'm unsure what kind of retard wrote the blurb in the Wikipedia article. It will likely be removed soon when actual scientists find out about it.
>>16974608The study ran out of funding when the test subjects were 25. It's likely that the brain keeps developing. You'll need a different metric for maturity. But that doesn't mean maturity as a concept should be abandoned, obviously.
>she's only 86 yo you sick fuckthat"s what I think about it10 or so years ago 13 yo were legal to fuck in my country and there was no dramma. just sayan
>>16974608Here is a list of all edits made by the creator of that wikipedia article. Scroll all the way down. Some of his earliest edits are on "ebephilia" and "hebephilia". What a shocker that the OOP is an actual pedophile. Wouldn't be surprised if that this is the same as OP. I will do everything in my power to get this article removed. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Schwarbage&target=Schwarbage&offset=&limit=500
>>16974608The brain is constantly changing as new information is acquired, new habits are formed, and old ways are discontinued. The concept of a "fully developed brain" is somewhat arbitrary and there is no hard cutoff.
>>16974608>Is it true that brains don't fully mature until age 25[?]On his 12th birthday, a male ceases to be a boy.And on his 24th birthday, a male ceases to be a minor.For females, multiply those birthdays by 7/8.Thus on her 21st birthday, a female ceases to be a minor.And on her 10.5th birthday, a female ceases to be a girl (because that's when she starts to menstruate).In conclusion, 24 or 21; not 25.
>>16974740lmao
>>16974608You may not fully mature until decades, centuries, or even longer after you die, when your bones finally become indistinguishable from dust. Scientifically speaking.
>>16974608i propose a litmus test of knowledge, maturity, life experience and intellect in order to date, fuck and procreate. if you fail the test under the age of 25, then you're incapable of consent in any stage of courting. if you fail the litmus test over the age of 25, you're forcibly sterilized and marked with a highly visible tag of which one you failed.
>>16974766I, too, think we should sterilise and stigmatise Trump voters
>>16974717And the maturity difference between a 20 year old and a 30 year old will be different, and the maturity between a 30 year old and a 40 year old will be different, etc.., etc..maturity is not some physical object to be measured, we learn and grow every single day, constantly changing and maturing in different ways all the time, to say that you are magically "mature" at some age is erroneous.
>>16974831Dishonest pedo
24 yo can't consent but can vote, own property and work?
>>16974970Nobody is making that argument. There are obviously cutoffs that can be made. Romeo & Juliet laws already accommodate the grey area surrounding the "hard" cutoff for age of consent. 18-19 year olds, if you ever interact with them, are behaviorally closer to children than they are of fully grown adults replete with the lived experiences of adulthood. I would even advocate increasing the age of consent to 20-21, again with Romeo & Juliet laws to accommodate the ±3 year grey area.
>>16974608That's how long meat intelligence takes to download its training data. 25 years!!! bwahahahahahaa!
>>16974973but 18-19 year olds should be able to vote and own property?
>>16974983Nah.
>>16974973>18-19 year olds, if you ever interact with them, are behaviorally closer to children than they are of fully grown adults replete with the lived experiences of adulthood. I would even advocate increasing the age of consent to 20-21This is what you get when you scrape spreddit posts by post-wall holes and put it all in the training set.
>>16974994Found the sex pest.
>>16974998Looks like denying you're a post-wall hole wasn't the most likely continuation on reddit, statistically speaking.
it's not true for women, their brains mature way earlier.arond 20I theorise it matches facial beaty maturityFor men they start puberty later and have more brain to develop so it carries on into their mid late 20s, I theorise it explains crime rates
>>16975000>blacks>more brain to developlol
>>16974900>let me bring up pedophilia for no reason
>>16974717How much of that is simply due to freshmen being on their own for the first time versus upper classmen having a few years of experience with independent living under their belts?
>>16974721We have become better men. We beat evolution.Now we need to import infinite indians to make up for the plummeting birth rate. Thank you doctor shekelberg for showing White people the true path to civilization.
>>1697497318-19 year olds can behave with greater maturity in environments that facilitate doing soMeanwhile we practically have adult daycare for 24y olds.But, by all means, chase after care home grannies because those are truly the mature ones.
>>16975027very little. "freshmen" who are older veterans (24+ who served and never lived alone) have the same kind of maturity as upper classmen (self sufficiency)
>>16975047>18-19 year olds can behave with greater maturity in environments that facilitate doing so>can
>>16975053Throughout most of history, 18-19 year olds were able to mature to a point of significant adulthood. This has been dampened and stunted with technological advancements to the point where you consider a 18 year old to be on the same level as child. Just because you are autisitc and got stunted by the internet does not mean that an 18 year old isn't sufficiently mature to be considered a young adult.Retard
>>16975058>most of historythis ain't the 1700s where you could legally rape women.
>>16974711We're all changing throughout our whole lives, dumb kike. 25 is an arbitrary stopping point.
>>16975066Got it, tranny.
>>16974717>It will likely be removed soon when actual scientists find out about it.lol
>>16974740But some women start puberty at age 8 while others start at like 14.It's even worse for boys.and yet we expect standardised results from their education
>>16975074i accept your ungraceful concession.
>>16974727>4chan is literally defending this guy>anons are literally ignoring this postinterdasting
>>16975066As a whole, discipline was taught differently and self-sufficiency, or at the very least practicality and handiness, were deemed particularly useful for close to all classes. Like I said, technological advancements have led to an extended immaturity where what we consider to be general tenents of adulthood can be skirted and left underdeveloped, hopefully to be developed later by adequate parenting and mentorship.Also, just because you could rape women (actually your wife specifically) doesn't mean you had carte blanche to do so with any woman, especially virgins>>16975051I think a 19y old grunt is more capable at handling himself than a 21y old fresh graduate
>>16975092You're illiterate. No, I will not elaborate.
>>16975097I accept your concession
>>16974608I found it funny that it was 18 when I was young, then it was 21, then 25. The age of "maturity", if there even is such a thing, kept going up as millennial women got older.
>>16975083>But some women start puberty at age 8 while others start at like 14.females, not womenofficial start of puberty for females = (3*7)/2 ≠ (8 + 14)/2
>>16974727>I will do everything in my power to get this article removed!!!Kek. What a pathetic little butthurt faggot.
>>16975089>Pedo bear used to symbolise redditMan, this place has really changed, huhAlthough not that much because of course the people you're talking about are actually all here and not on reddit
