"Younger people in general were expected to enter the adult world as soon as possible, because they didn't have the luxury of waiting until they were 18 to do so."

I wonder what effect having humans wait until they're 18 to join the adult world has on the psyche, I would think that waiting that long to do so is unnatural, and thus, has a negative impact.



"The type of ageist ideology we have today is a conceit that you will not find in pre-industrial civilizations."

Yes, the effect that the industrial revolution had on this modern ageist ideology is to profound to ignore.
