Re: What's something you don't understand, even when it's explained to you?

[(Anonymous)]

Actually I think you just hold a VERY common misconception about pre-modern societies. The age that people are considered 'adult' hasn't actually changed much (if at all) in the vast majority of societies, even compared to how it was thousands of years ago.

You're conflating the lives of monarchy with the common people. Kings and queens were married off as children for political reasons. They were not considered adults until they were actually, you know, adults. Everyone else married in their late teens/early 20s, just as they do now. And while a child might be apprenticed to someone in early childhood, or have to work for a living as a child, they were still considered to be children by their society. Just like millions of children today have to work for a living.

Every society has placed that cutoff between childhood and adulthood at different ages. Some put it as low as 15 and others at idk 25. And there are outliers. But if you travelled back to p. much any point in recorded history, most civilizations would have just about the same views on that cutoff as we do today, and the same views on how immature teenagers are.
