prefrontal cortex specifically, this isnt new, talk about raising the drinking age to 25 for example is old hat

studies have been done even from 18 to 21 show a marked improvement in the us

doesnt really matter if you want to argue culture or biology or a mix of the two

no i mean scientifically brain development continues past 18 and physical immaturity continues to around 25ish, 18 is way to damn young for some things still

that isn’t just culture

plenty of studies showing even 18 year olds are fucking dumb still

18 is still a kid, all that shit should be at like 25

my issue isnt with the 21 or the 19

if you can join the military at 18…

I personally know a lady that had to leave alabama after two run in with racists at gas stations in a couple months because her mixed race kid

this was in 2020
