This post has a thin veneer of science and a lot of flowery language, but the core argument is a deeply flawed. The author is trying to extrapolate from psychology studies to argue that it’s “ageist” to have additional driving restrictions on teenagers. The source material is deeply cherry-picked to support their argument (in a very strained way) and completely ignores the actual studies that go into these decisions. It’s also ignoring the fact that 16 year olds are inherently beginner drivers, which is perhaps the single biggest reason their licenses are restricted in some locations. The author, who appears to be a teenager, has other posts with titles such as “ Isn't it weird that I am a slave?” and “Teens: the most oppressed identity group?” It’s clear that the author feels a lot of youthful angst, but comparing himself to a slave is quite out of touch and tasteless. There’s also a weird tangent into race-based differences at the end article. This is one of the more bizarre Substacks I’ve come across lately.
