I agree. I think as a society, we need to stop fetishizing youth. Not contempt - but tone it down a bit. Kids today have wanton access to internet and technology but aren't any smarter or better at making decisions. One might make an argument that they may be worse. Certainly more prone to group think than generations previous which is good and terrible at the same time.

> Kids today have wanton access to internet and technology but aren't any smarter or better at making decisions. Citation needed, I guess? Teen pregnancies are way down, for example.

  That could have as much to do with the contemporary social environment as it does with actual decisionmaking. Sex among youth is down overall - even pre-pandemic, iirc.

  You don’t need to be extra smart to use a condom, just not being extra dumb. That’s a very low bar isn’t it?
