"Don't sling the youth a stereotype that we cannot challenge, strive beyond and excel.
Age is a number, intelligence and maturity are earned.
  
That's nice but if age is just a number why is your upper limit 41?"

It's not set in stone, I just put it as a 1st search.
I have young shoulders and I was given responsibilities beyond my knowledge, simple to learn at the deep end. Sink or swim |

Nah... 27 is too old "
Too old to be spouting meaningless tosh, certainly  |

"Intelligence you are more or less born with, or not.
Not all agree with that."
I agree. I think we are all a combination of nature and nurture. How much of each depends on the person |

And environment - critical in the first few years for how much the brain grows. |

Complex subject and I don't think this thread is the place to discuss it.
I dispute the OPs claim that intelligence is earned, that's all. |

Well it wasn't all hence the response, but apologies for daring to trouble you. |

Does nature provide a set limit to what an individual can achieve though, regardless of the nurture or the stimuli? Or does each person have an unlimited capacity to improve their brain function? Until what point?
It's a fascinating subject but somewhat wasted in this thread, I fear. |

It's a moving feast different with each person. But it fascinates me. I used to work with children in care. I used to meet the parents as well as the kids. Some kids who had never met their parents had the same mannerisms as the parent they had never met e.g. Sat the same way or had the same mannerisms. That's nature. But on the other hand, some really damaged kids who came into care blossomed into confident, intelligent young people. That's the nurture and environment part. It's a truly fascinating subject. |

So you tell me, is an individual born with a pre-determined limit on the extent to which their intelligence can develop? Or does everyone have an endless capacity to improve brain function? What even is intelligence?
My own belief based on what I've read to date is that each person has a limited potential intelligence, which varies from person to person. Whether a person achieves their potential, or a high degree of it, depends on a number of factors. This is why I said we're born with it "more or less". We can increase our mental capabilites in various ways but the question of where the limit is, or if there is a limit at all, has yet to be answered.
Maybe there are ways to increase that limit for an individual but it's not something that's well understood yet.
Either way, knowledge is learned, intelligence is not. |

I know that lots of younger people are given responsibilities beyond their years. Good luck to you. |

"Some of us prefer older though... Nothing to do with stereotypes.
Cali
^^^^^This!"
I'm only 26, but I won't meet any men younger than 30, regardless of how 'intelligent' or 'experienced' they feel they are based on past experiences. And I just prefer the way older men look. Baby faced men do absolutely nothing for me. It's personal preference. |

It's pretty well understood and very well studied and those studies are widely available. But as you say, not the thread, lesson learned, mouth shut. |

"You are given instincts nothing else. You learn develop and gain the rest.
"
Er, no. You are also given potential. Lots and lots of types of potential.
Your genetics determine, for example, how tall you will be.
No matter how much someone might want to grow to be 6 feet tall, for example, it's not going to happen without the right genetics, plus the correct nutrition etc.
Some people are naturally more sporty than others. Some are more academically capable. We have only some scope to decide who and what we are/will be. The rest is decided for us. |

Feel free to start a thread about it.
As far as I am aware there is a huge amount relating to the human brain and our intelligence that is not understood. I'd be happy to hear I'm wrong because I have some questions of my own that I'd love answers to. |

I am not academic yet I developed ways to combat my issues in education
I wasn't gifted in sport but I trained and developed skills to become who I am
The lot you are given can range because we have a tolerant society. |

I don't remember drinking a lot of alcohol this evening but it appears one of us did. That or there were mushrooms involved. |

"Yes but who actually slung?"
Anyone who wouldn't meet him because he's too young or has age filters preventing him from messaging them, as a guess.
It's ok to sling stereotypes at anyone over 41 though.
No double standards here, no siree! |
