Come on that's a silly response. You are better then that. 17 year olds are preparing for their year 12 exams. I was probably smarter in that year then I am now. The peak age of mathmaticians is around mid 20s. A 17 year old is far closer to their peak maths abilities then a 60 year old.Bullshit. How many 17 year olds do you know?
And forget just 17 year olds. There are plenty of 15 year olds I would take over most adults. Even 13-14 year olds. Plenty of idiots in those groups too. Just like with adults.
And mental decline is obvious after 50. I could see it in all my parents and most of their friends clearly when they were around 60. They just weren't as switched on as they were when I was younger.
It's not only the cognitive decline and lack of care about making the world a better place. Old people become much fearful of change and this influences their political choices.
