    I’m assuming by the fact that your rebuttal is still incorrect that you are being impulsive as well.

    Where did I say that impulsivity was solely the domain of the young? When did I say it becomes a non factor? When did brexit become the litmus test for impusivity? Shouldn’t that honor go to Trump’s election?

    All I said. ALL I am saying. Is that impulse control isn’t finished developing until our twenties, and yes that means that Teena agers are more impulsive.

    That’s not a controversial stance. It’s facts.

    So your attempt at a rebuttal isn’t even discussing the point. Which isn’t that impulsivity ever goes away, but that our development in that area isn’t “finished” in our brain during that time.

    Other factors affect impulsivity, from education to personal experiences so it’s never really " done" developing in many ways. And a younger person who has gone through some serious shit will usually be way less impulsive than a sheltered older person.

    But I digress. The point is, you’re incorrect…
