As a public health professional (epidemiology/disease control), I’m just happy someone is actually talking about this somewhere. The research on early female puberty leaves me with a lot of concerns about the schooling system and the social media presence/exposure of kids to adults who wouldn’t be aware. It also seems frustrating to attend school with people who are four years behind you, physically and psychologically. I think the compatibility of girls and boys was already a bit rocky. It seems to only be getting worse as years go on.
> The twentieth century invention of the “teenager” category to facilitate complex educational structures, and how this has progressively infantilized young adults while deferring traditional life milestones deep into the average person’s twenties
Tbh on some level delayed traditional life milestones is kinda a good thing in some aspect.
Practically only either the Shire tier village or some very special case people can handle early marriage. The Shire don't need to know a lot & don't want to, as long as their life is comfortable and they are treated with basic dignity & non-contempt they will be satisfied.
Besides, you got a lot of "Wife bad" boomer comics that eventually comes from much earlier marriage being the norm.
If anything this is what the chuddier parts of the right eventually want to try to enforce, and last time I check you are so repulsed by this.
Don't get me wrong, I def think adolescence is useful concept, and the way we handled it last century was basically appropriate. It's just that Millennials and especially Zoomers have taken it up to eleven to a level that's become incredibly concerning and seems to involve serious executive functioning deficiencies
1. When I say early marriage I do mean marrying before bachelor's degree fresh grad age or so (before age 25 or so)
2. I think there are 3 unsignificant factor or event behind this trend that goes unmentioned:
- Choice & information paralysis (Too much info & choice -> it's REALLY HARD to take decisive action that aren't seem psychotic, plus if you are not super high IQ it takes longer to access information
- Everyone's being online means everybody's life and neurosis is shared, so people just think nobody is truly an adult who get everything figured out like the 50s dad (and those who do turned out to be Shire Dwellers tier who just rely on life script). However, this force, which obliterates Boomerism, also turns everyone into eternal teenagers because "Well nobody gets everything figured out anyway"
- I think part of the reason why Zoomers embrace sex negative stuff is because of rebellion against "EVERY MEDIA, CONTENT, MOVIE, GAMES EVER ALWAYS have B-tier romance or sex scene even if it has nothing to do with the plot" and people are just sick of it
Although I dunno if this is an effect or a cause. After all you used to be a prominent antisemite out of Jews being too soapboxy & annoying, so
Also:
- One thing I see from Zoomers making falling in love, attracted etc super cringe and low status is basically is the same force as the elementary school tier "girls have cooties" belief + there's also a shame associated with it. Falling in love, attracted etc means you let your guard down and be vulnerable, and that's weakness. This is elementary school tier shit but tbh it's the same force
Early marriage BAD, late marriage with the benefits of life experience GOOD
This is from the perspective of individual happiness though. It might be totally different from the perspective of whats good for society, demographics and eugenics (old sperm is supposed to be pretty dysgenic)
My wife is the opposite end of the spectrum. I met her when she was 24 and she looked 16. Got death stares from everyone all the time
As long as you're both happy, that's all that really matters.
We are happy. I told the anecdote because i find it funny lol

The opening is unironically my favorite song you’ve produced, it’s relaxing and I actually listen through the whole thing instead of skipping

I see. Anyway:
1. When I say early marriage I do mean marrying before bachelor's degree fresh grad age or so (before age 25 or so)
2. I think there are 3 unsignificant factor or event behind this trend that goes unmentioned:
- Choice & information paralysis (Too much info & choice -> it's REALLY HARD to take decisive action that aren't seem psychotic, plus if you are not super high IQ it takes longer to access information

Most of the evidence I've seen IRL points to

Old sperm is literally 40+ years of age. You'll still have time
