The age of peak intelligence.
Discussion
Seems to a fairly widespread belief that your at your smartest before your 30, Einstein himself said the same.

Also fairly common knowledge that young people vote more Left Wing. Even The Torygraph agrees.

And that older people become more right wing.

So what exactly does this tell us?

Nothing that isn't blindingly obvious. Experience matters. See https://www.verywell.com/fluid-intelligence-vs-cry...

It tells me that once you have some life experience you realise that there isn't a magic money tree, and that if you want stuff, you need to work for it.www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/01/09/mental-peak-age_...

That the opposite is true.The wiser you get the more you can make your intelligence work for you.
That and the difference between an intelligent person aged 70 and a fkwit aged 25 is probably much larger than an intelligent person of 70 and one of 25.

Einstein was an undoubted intellectual colossus, a man of tremendous vision and talent, but he was not an expert of everything. Logical fallacy.I read an interesting article the other day, which de-bunked the idea of linking genius with precocity. It looked at artists and the age they were went they painted their best painting or wrote their best poetry and the idea of youthful genius rarely holds. Picasso was a notable exception.

What we knew already, that intelligence and wisdom are different attributes.Sherwyn Sarabi is highly intelligent, his IQ is said to be 160+ but he'd be no good as a political leader for at least 11 years, he's got a few years of Primary school to go before losing the short trousers.
That said he might be an improvement on Jeremy Corbyn

Over 30 minutes on PH, on a topic involving intelligence, and no ones pointed out that it's you're yet?! Standards are slipping... So what exactly does this tell us?

Music is interesting because on the face of it it appears that most musicians do there best work when they are younger.
