Σειληνός (Seilēnós)
Rosa Control@Seilenos I don’t think the fact that they are in their 70s matters. Is not like they went off the rails after their birthday
snakespeare@RosaCtrl @Seilenos I think it matters more than people are comfortable to admit. As we humans age, our brains shrink. The parts response for empathy, impulse control, and peoblem-solving, are the last to mature, and also the first to decline when getting older. No one over 70 should be in charge of anything.
@snakespeare @Seilenos we know that happens due to socialisation. The world is full of counter-examples of old people, over 80, that don’t fit your description. Some of them I know myself.
No one should have the power those assholes have though, regardless of their age
@RosaCtrl @Seilenos We know that what happens due to socialisation? The world is also full of examples of mature and kind children, but that doesn't mean children should drive, or hold leadership positions. Elderly people are a lot like children in that way. I'm not saying old people are bad, I'm saying they're cognitively deficient.
@snakespeare @Seilenos look at universities, look at the age of people being experts in their field. When you are kept active and not excluded from society, there’s no noticeable cognitive deficiency. If you are abandoned in a nursing home though, then yeah, you will quickly deteriorate.
Those three assholes in the original post have been like that all their lives. They didn’t went nuts after they turned certain age. I don’t want a younger Putin in power
