I've met adults who can't make informed decisions about sexual interaction

Children are highly impressionable and easy to manipulate

But if the child is malicious or negligent, and the separation of those is rough, would make it a problem and untrusted as a post.

Adults are highly impressionable and easy to manipulate.

They literally buy stupid shit because of commercials.

Not near a childs level

Have you met a child?

Half the country are leftists.

Rampant feminists.

I assume you have met children

@Xychotic, those adults have had enough years to learn and develop their pre frontal cortex

thats part of the plan for world dominion

children do not

You know how impressionable they are

pm me if you want links to the whole article

their PFC does not develop till 25

@The-Free-Monk Yes, but that argument has trouble when you consider the age 25 limit.

Because that argument means that anyone under the age of 25 shouldn't be able to consent.

You're arguing that a majority of adults are on the same level of a child in impressionability?

Which would mean 18 is too early to vote and serve.

You have to stick to the assumptions of the conversation, PP.

thats just the top limit, but generally you can deduce how much life experience is needed to make informed decisions

You're proposing a false premise and then telling me I have to stick with it

I disagreed with the premise

No, it's hypothetical.

so no I don't have to stick to the assumptions

I understand that

But I don't see the point

Its flawed

We're having a conversation.

That's the point.

Well whatever

Children don't understand the consequences of their decisions because they dont process things holistically and rigorously

But neither do most adults.

again adults are given many years to correct that

you cant compare a kid to an adult with many years of life experience

even high IQ autistic kids lack tons of skills

So children having a vastly higher obesity rate if their parents are obese is just because the children chose to?
