Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

  • Brains don’t “finish cooking”… they change continuously throughout our lives (just like our bodies do)

    and even if there was some magical point of “finish cooking” that wouldn’t make people below that age mentally incompetent.

    you are jumping thru tons of illogical hoops in order to justify demeaning and degrading young adults. Stop it.

    • arguing semantics to win an argument must make you great at parties and nothing I said was illogical. Just because you feel you are right doesn’t automatically make other points illogical.

      Simply put your “constantly changing” is as much a hand wave over complex topics as my cooking metaphor and allows for significant development of cognition and decision making.

      frontal and parietal cortices aren’t developed until mid to late teens with maturation continuing for another decade. Maturation is an important part to consider because just because it’s developed doesn’t mean you are capable of using it effectively.

      The frontal lobe is generally where higher executive functions including emotional regulation, planning, reasoning and problem solving occur.
