Generally from 19 onwards one is bright again, but many turn as dumb as ever again at 21 or so. Others after 30 turn into the regular dumb people everywhere...<br /><br /><br />(I'd say "juvenility" in its most toxic forms is between 16-18, also the time people turn ideological. Before that many clichés about the innocence of children, mixed with some further development and awareness can generally apply. People decide around 20 or so if they want to continue being an ignorant, superstitious, ideological idiot from their mid-teens... Others turn convenient, arrogant and small-minded later. This is basically the same as described above.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068873.post-71902980305624994702018-01-26T08:16:51.342-06:002018-01-26T08:16:51.342-06:00Good to see you are posting again and feeling bett...Good to see you are posting again and feeling better in general.<br />Too bad you didn't finish The Unholy Consult.
