I just don't think it's a good idea to infantilise people in their 20s further. It's not a super-fringe opinion that people generally tend to reach a certain level of maturity later than they did in the past.
Some of that is pleasant as it means people can enjoy child-like comfort for longer, but too much of it seems like it would have adverse effects.
- dylan604 3y agoSure, let's compare the experience of someone in their 20s to someone that has more experience than that person has been alive and then convince us the 20-somethin has the same experience. This sincere befuddlement that a 20-something has the same experience is just bizarre to me coming from anyone that's not a 20-something. Sure, there's some talented 20-somethings, but that's true of any generation. I was a 20-something at one point long ago myself, and I too fought these things and constantly had my "experience" and "opinions" qualified with someone that undeniably had experience. It was truly frustrating, but also a bit of "told ya" when they'd come back and say I was correct. It's an age old growing pain. Why is this being questioned I have no idea. Yes, you will meet qualified 20-somethings, but you will inevitably meet many many more of them faking it till they make it but ultimately prove their inexperience.
