Should be the opposite. The votes should be discounted by lack of experience and stake in the future: Under 20 -40% 20-30 -30% 30-40 -20% 40-50 -10# Over 50 no discount. A stake in the future by raising children? One + 10% Two + 20% And so on up to 50%

Not more than standard voting , just weights are fucked up. In many countries it is almost impossible to out-vote some now older generations who have less skin(time) in the game than younger ones.

But age also gives you the wisdom to know mistakes are what made you "you" and it would in most if not all cases be wise not to change anything even if you could.
