"Okay"



Insight into the mind of a god. I have morals, i recognize my morals are irrational, but I yet have them

I think it has something to do with brain development.

No, actually. None of these are determined by age. All of these can be accelerated or decelerated, and who knows where science will take the question of 'how fast' one day?

Seriously. Not that you've yet to define what maturity is.

Okay, technically you're right about that, but by that same logic "aging" isn't determined by age either, is it? I suppose one could make a theoretical argument that aging isn't aging, nor that anything is "determined by" anything else, if it can be influenced by other factors. A better way I could have worded it would have been "physical/sexual maturity is influenced by age" in that naturally these things progress with age. Maybe science really could speed things up in the future (probably could) but they couldn't in that era.

I think it has to do with going over your head, and being philosophically braindead.

As long as you are not in a form of perfect stasis, your brain should always be developing. This includes after you have died. Future development, in no matter what way, has utterly no bearing upon the current status of a mind. If a mind is already 'mature' (to ANY EXTENT WHATSOEVER), then it is, by definition: mature. It might be barely mature, or mature beyond the scope of mankind... but it *is* mature.

Quote:Okay, technically you're right about that, but by that same logic "aging" isn't determined by age either, is it?

No, further aging of a body is not determined by its current age, but the effects of the environment upon it in time yet to come. Nor is aging inherently positive or negative.

Quote:I suppose one could make a theoretical argument that aging isn't aging, nor that anything is "determined by" anything else, if it can be influenced by other factors.

The process that is aging is defined as aging, so by most accounts, you would be wrong. You may feel free to redefine aging as you wish (an identified being becoming older than how it might earlier have been identified), but then you wouldn't be talking about the same thing anymore.

Sure, one can make any argument ever. That doesn't mean the argument isn't a shaky one, of course

Quote:A better way I could have worded it would have been "physical/sexual maturity is influenced by age" in that naturally these things progress with age. Maybe science really could speed things up in the future (probably could) but they couldn't in that era.

And you would still be wrong. Physical and sexual maturity have absolutely nothing to do with aging (as if you put someone in stasis for a billion years, they will have the same physical and sexual maturity of a billion years ago).

Age CORRELATES with maturity... maybe. You have *YET* to define maturity, and I will not respond again until you tell me exactly what this mysterious adjective means.

Response: Sounds more like your personal opinion.

Sounds you have the brains of a 9-year-old.

The difference is that i don't approve marriage between 18+ & 10-.

Not so likewise, pervert.

Response: Yet you disaprove of marriage between two people who have reached puberty and maturity, which means you condone the marriage of immature prepubescents.

Very likewise, pervert.

You guys need to read something.... some light reading for starters:
national-geographic - the teenage brain

@ Al-Fatihah you may have missed my question(more likely ignored it due to the only correct Response would be to admit the true meaning of "wife beating") from my last POST.

If the beating is not harmful or abusive then what is the point or goal?
