sure, but that was a really weird response @April

If the age is on the clock

There's a lot of discrimination towards young people simply for being young

@topgyles rule 4

It's silly

@Soldz (CF) oh

and...26? wtf you still think old folks tend to be dumber than younger people?

@vazorium yes

Sounds illegal

Alzheimer

Hahahah

@April you don't get out much if you believe that

Generally speaking the brain becomes less susceptible to change over time, and mental decay occurs in old age

Older people get stuck in their ways

yes mental decay does occur...gradually

Not always, but on average

like, decades upon decades upon decades

Alzheimer

Either way I think everyone deserves respect until they show they don't

Thats a fair point

Honestly I felt like my brain cells have degraded being in this server

meantime the brain is still an insane supercomputer and presuming the person doesn't have dementia or alzeimer's or some other brain disorder it'll have absorbed more knowledge and lived experience than a twenty-something child @April

My original IQ was 45

Its cuz there flat earthers

We become dumb arpund them

See i cant spell

Sure. A well educated person who has trained their mind and done intense study who is much older definitely has had much more time to look over things

and more experience

Wisdom is not inteligence

which is why I have tons of respect for older people who show they have put in that effort

right. so the tendency is younger people are stupider than older people

no

not the other way around

yes, that's exactly how that works

Noooo wisdom is not inteligence

@topgyles you need lived experience for both

if you take people at their peak of focusing on such tasks, then yes. The older person will naturally have had more time and experience

but the reality is most people don't

younger people are typically educated with up to date info while older people rely on what they were taught at that age

aka outdated information

Old people that think that earth is falt obviously spent most their time drinking tea
