I also think it's something that has the potential to change in the future as well. People are taking better care of themselves and exercising their brains into later years more than they used to in previous generations, while younger people seem to be less independent than older generations used to be. When I was 18, almost everyone left the nest. Nowadays, young people seem to be delaying that progression, which I think might have an impact on how quickly they mature. If you make a law right now, it could be difficult to change in the future.
For sure, I’m just pointing out the hypocrisy of not wanting an age limit but being in favour of an age minimum based on zero evidence except old people don’t trust young people.
