some article i found: https://slate.com/technology/2022/11/brain-development-25-year-old-mature-myth.html
oh fuck this article goes hard
this is totally right! it's not a coincidence that we graft the little incorrect factoid onto our existing culture

When people try to raise the age of majority they’re doing so because they understand that children lack power in society and they’re trying to increase how many lack power and increase the concentration of power.
If someone tells you that 25 is the start of adulthood they’re saying that they think that too many people have autonomy, choice, and freedom and they want to take that away from them.
If someone tells you that neurodivergence means you stay a child longer than neurotypicals they’re telling you that they think that more neurotypicals deserve autonomy, choice, and liberty than neurodivergents.
When someone says these things, listen to them and understand it as the horrifying statement that it is.

#reblog#5 seconds of research shows that the “25 year old brain” thing is just pop culture BS#Ooho ooohh 10% of your brain ooh ooh your attention span is lower than a gold fish ohooohh#but this is true!! it's just about autonomy! by this logic we should throw everyone past a arbitrary older age (say retirement age) into a#flaming pit of disenfrachisment.#this isn't about The Science it's about deciding how gets to Do Things
