I know a few smart kids but most kids I know are stupid. If the job required them to think of ways to solve problems they would take far longer than an adult. Have a 10-14 year old and an adult build a car that are both well trained. I bet the car that the kids produce will have far more defects and mistakes. It would take the kid 2-3 years to finally do the job right probably when an adult would learn how to do it right in a few months at most. |
I picked 13 for a reason.
The smartest you ever were, was 13. That's the age when humans have the maximum capacity to learn. As you grow older, you gain a lot more information, thus allowing you to be better at something that requires knowledge (like a doctor).
But if you took you, and the 13 year old version of you, and told both of you to learn something neither of you had prior knowledge of, or any life experience that helps in your task (like learning how to play "Go" if you have never learned it), the 13 year old version of you would kick your ass.
He is a lot smarter then you (everyones 13 year old self was). If you really think 13 year olds are dumb, they are going to be even dumber 30 year olds.
