I'm not scientifically literate enough to comment on much of it (and I didn't click on any of the links you provided in your post) but I guess it goes to show how easy it is for bad science to be popularized and taken for granted. The 'brain doesn't fully develop until 25' is a really common ...

Personally, things like the purge are disgusting; it really shows people's true colors. It shows how fake people really are under their masks. As for happiness, killing someone because it feels good is not what I would personally consider happiness. I find that insulting to the concept of ...

Hey, it's nice to see you. Seems like you're doing better than before. How've you been?

Thanks for the clarification. I haven't read the entire article but I agree, the medical risk seems to be exaggerated.

If I have to say it, I don't think there's anything intrinsically wrong with teen pregnancy but, anti-natalist considerations aside (because I'm anti-natalist in practice ...

Can you elaborate on what you mean? I can kind of see what you're saying.

I mean if there were truly some universally applicable link between brain composition/development and abnormal behavior, then the many people testing for it should consistently be finding that same link. But they're not ...

If I'm not mistaken, it begins to decline; although I'm sure very gradually, as early as 25. Certain pregnancy risks increase then as well which is why I've said that, from a health standpoint, the absolute best time for a woman to get pregnant is from around two years after menarche up ...

My thoughts on this are: If 35 is the age that is considered "Advanced Maternity Age" (AMA), or previously known as geriatric pregnancy, then we must recognize that adulthood begins well before 18. If 18 truly is the age that you consider being an adult, then you have only 17 years before your ...

As for what is considered full blown maturity, it gets very murky and thus arbitrary to have a definite age for it, but as for me personally, I would consider full blown sexual maturity once you are able to reproduce. There's a handful of studies you can find that dispels the myths around the ...

There is nothing new or groundbreaking about this. As for the "peaks", there are numerous studies shows it's in the late thirties and mid to late forties. This so-called "adolescence" extending that they speak of is a bit hogwash. The concept of adolescence and the brain being "fully" or ...
