_"Brains fully developed at 25" is an urban myth. It has been thoroughly debunked.
Slate did an excellent summary:

Old Dogs, new CSS Tricks
A lot of new CSS features have shipped in the last years, but actual usage is still low. One of the biggest barriers: we need to re-wire our own brains.

Spiking representation learning for associative memories
Networks of interconnected neurons communicating through spiking signals offer the bedrock of neural computations. Our brains spiking neural networks have the computational capacity to achieve complex pattern recognition and cognitive functions effortlessly. However, solving real-world problems with artificial spiking neural networks (SNNs) has proved to be difficult for a variety of reasons. Crucially, scaling SNNs to large networks and processing large-scale real-world datasets have been chal…

The brain is by far the least understood part of human anatomy.
Sentences like "We took pictures of brains and noticed some changes and that means that 22 year olds cannot consent to sex"
are very popular, but complete idiocy.

Ugh. #1Password continues its slide into rotten behavior. I now have a _permanent_ "Add your first items" tooltip above my passwords. And they have told me they have no plans to let users manually disable these tips! Instead I have to add some dummy entries to this vault for the message to go away.
I think this explains what's been happening with 1P8 this whole time: a new phi…

The conclusions of researchers, like Finkelhor and Hines, are actually logical when you step back and think about it.
Why would nature prepare our bodies to have sex and make babies, but leave our brains too stupid to handle relationships???

Powerfully Disempowering
We've just spent 20 or 30 years telling our sons and daughters that they are *prey*.
Prey is by definition weak.
Prey is a helpless victim.
We tell them that they will be *groomed*, because their tiny brains are too feeble.
It's the wrong message.

We are having a huge mental health crisis among young adults aged 14-18 precisely because they are constantly demeaned, degraded & infantilized. Their basic civil rights are denied. They are constantly told to be afraid because they're idiots who are easily brainwashed and abused. They're told their brains won't work right for years...
Its abusive AF and nobody will acknowledge how harmful it is.
