Exactly. This talk comes from some out of touch boomer who had success and doesn’t understand reality for the majority.
Also majority of “20-30” something’s I all know (millennials) did not “waste” their 20’s, we listened to boomers and got “educated”, only for boomers to keep all the high end jobs, not create any investment in our futures, and then outsource / import cheaper labor rather than hire us. The average age of first home buyers and kid is now like 34 years old! That is the sign of a dying society.

No, the brain does not stop developing or changing at age 20. In fact, the idea that the brain “fully matures” at 20 or even 25 is largely an oversimplification. Neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to rewire, form new neural pathways, and adapt—continues throughout your entire life, meaning your brain never truly stops developing. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Remember statistics mean nothing to the individual.
Also is this a message from the 70s or 80s? This person’s science is largely outdated.
