I'd ask you to cite your reasoning. The average age of first child in western societies is almost hitting the 30 year old mark, so I'd argue that (in western societies at least) there is a dramatic mental difference between those in their mid 20's over those in their mid-thirties.
- rthomas6 16y agoMaybe I don't have enough perspective. I'm only 23, and maybe I will think that I'm dramatically different when I'm 40. Right now, it just doesn't seem like it. Then again, most teenagers think the same way about being 23 (me included).
- gyardley 16y agoHeh - I'm dramatically different from the 23-year-old me and I'm only 34. (And thank god, because the 23-year-old me was both insufferably stupid and didn't know it.) (Now at least I know it.)
- nebaneba 16y agoRemind me to ask you what you think 11 years later. At least we know there's a nonzero probability that your perceived insufferable stupidity is monotonically decreasing. :-)
- nebaneba 16y agoHow does the fact that the average age of first child in western societies hitting the 30 year old mark support the argument that there is a dramatic mental difference between those in their mid-20s and those in their mid-30s?
