Honestly, this is a surprising statement. I imagine it comes from someone younger, and who has been through much strife? A human brain isn't fully developed at 19, just because we send 19y olds off to kill in wars doesn't mean they are adults and it certainly doesn't indicate infantilizing a young adult by allowing them growth. If we're talking about a 39y old man, then you can start proselytizing and comparing. Most of mid-life -> older is validating the "youth is wasted on the young" quote and turning into an old fart. A fudge-ton of humans never had this chance, that doesn't mean we can't grow and allow for it now where circumstances allow. I find this similar to the student loan forgiveness/free State College conversation in the US. It is almost as ridiculous as "originalism" in interpreting the U.S. Constitution. A document made to be updated at the will of the people, yet we must just adhere to what a 18th century aristocratic male landowner would have thought if presented with the question of <INSERT ANYTHING POST 1789>" Investigate him if there is cause, but not because of Magnus' tweets. Freely admitting to your mistakes and trying to learn from them is something to be encouraged. How people on HN pirated software or did gray-hat stuff when young, and where did it take you?
