Look like kids to me. Still, old enough to know better. But they still look like kids

Ya know I really don’t believe in the whole “age=intelligence” thing.
I’ve known 40+ year olds who are still absolutely stupid

Intelligence is positively correlated with moral reasoning in adolescents. In the moment, blood pumping with adrenaline, they’re able to effectively problem solve — find temporary cover, and reduce the time needed to find a drivable car in a big parking deck by calling out or help. I would argue that they’re likely intelligent, capable of moral reasoning, and chose not to use it. My heart breaks for kids that do stuff like this, and the people they do it to.

The existence of stupid adults doesn’t preclude the fact that our brains literally don’t finish developing until our mid/late 20s.
