Is this mostly built to align voting age with full development of the prefrontal cortex?

18 also corresponds to the age at which the majority transitions from government-funded & mandated daycare to tax payer Or college student, becoming a stronger tax payer on avg Curious if voting age is meant to reflect decision making ability or something else

I've read that brains aren't fully formed until age 25, so there's that.

Interesting on one hand I do agree but I work with GenZ and have come across some brilliant people at the age of 19. To restrict them legally in any manner would feel criminal. And they are becoming more aware of things at a much earlier age though yes its a distorted awareness

Missed that tweet. Mine would be that a large majority (>90%) of what we (humanity) currently believe in is wrong. It will take a long time to disprove it all, but it’s happened to every society in the past. We’re in a constant state of hubris.

I also think the vote should be taken away at the age of 65.

It's funny: The argument for using 18 was that you needed to be able to draft lots of young soldiers who wouldn't question authority too much. Now the military wants nothing to do with a draft... So you could raise it to something more reasonable (21?) without much trouble.

Society needs to start treating 18 year old like that they are. I didn't know is not an excuse.
