This means I have it all figured out, and you're all wrong for disagreeing with me on philosophical topics.
It pains me to say you are so right. I knew everything when I was 17. Now at 29 I don't know anything.

Mind you, you do get to act more wise than you are and people will still take you seriously.
My personalThe correct theory is that the brain cells responsible for existential musings begin to rot away around the time when you reach the 20 years mark, much in the same way that you start losing the part of your brain responsible for picking up new languages around age 11.

It is sad that we live in such an ageist society where the opinions of young'uns aren't taken seriously because life experience is valued over the ability to speculate and absolute confidence in your own opinions.
That makes me think of something. I read that autistic persons have 15% more brains; this is due to the fact that these "old" brain cells never quite go away. Would that mean that autistic persons keep those abilities?

Just thinking out loud here..

Have no idea.
Perhaps they continue to live and supply the person with their processing power, or perhaps they just die, but do not rot away afterwards, basically hanging around as useless dead lumps of tissue.

I'm 20, turn 21 at the end of the month. I don't want to grow up!

Yes, I just wanted to post that image.
Sadly we're not allowed to reply with only images, so I need to say something constructive as well...

Yeah, I guess people on this forum are mostly in the 16-21 area. Not really a surprise.
