No youβre a fresh adult by then. Your frontal lobe doesnβt mature til around 26. If youβre in your early 20s youβre literally just a juvenile human adult and the thing you think is βgetting oldβ is actually maturing in the first memorable life shift you have after puberty.
The reason society pushes you to think that your prime is in your early 20s is because you are a ripe mix of βable to buy thingsβ and βhighly susceptible to manipulationβ because you are both legally deemed an adult at 18 but also quite close to childhood (reminder: teens are children).
Capitalism loves how easy it is to whip you into a fervor over your identity and aim that at consumerism. At no other time in your life will you be so irresponsible (this is not a dig, you shouldnβt be expected to be super responsible at this stage), unprotected, manipulable by peer pressure, impressionable and impulsive. It tells you that being alive is a out being young and youth dies at 25 so youβd better hurry up and do all that cool stuff right now! Quick! Incidentally it all costs money! But hurry up and exhaust yourself before youβre too old!
β¦.too old to fall for their shit anymore. Thatβs what they mean by βoldβ. Older. Wiser.
God, willing, your lifespan goes way beyond 30. Youβre just getting started and theyβre trying to convince you itβs over before youβre experienced enough to see through the bullshit.
