Ever wonder why our young people are incompetent and depressed?
We raised the age to "protect" them.
An explanation of the precursor context to this wouldn't be a bad idea.
Maybe I'm just quickly scrolling but I found this confusing on a cursory read
It was originally an analogy for what we have done with the age of consent. I was in a discussion with a 21 year old who was terrified of sex. Gen Z is lonely and depressed like no other in recorded history. We messed up really bad with the overprotective helicopter parenting and the intense infantilization at ever higher ages.
What do you mean?
