   There's a form of ageism or youth worshipping going on that seems absurd to me. (More broadly than this article, but this is what triggered it for me)

   Young people by definition (Sub 16 years old in this case), by definition, lack experience. There's a reason they can't drink, drive, vote, give consent, or be held legally accountable for their actions (the same way an adult can).

   So why should I give a flying $TOKEN about what they think of it?

      I would sooner listen to the children than anyone who takes this position, because my experience has taught me to distrust listening to anyone who demands respect just for existing.
