Why should young people concern themselves so frequently and often to the point of despair with questions of morality or even nihilistic beliefs? Aren't we allocated many years in the later stages of our life when we have more time, experience, and wisdom to dwell on such topics? The young's superior fluid intelligence cowers in comparison to experience. I propose that our younger years should be driven by self-improvement, and if you do believe that your opinions are superior, then also laying the framework for a career with power where your opinions might hold more weight. This should all be done while constantly learning so that you may be even more qualified to speak on topics like the ones mentioned.

The young are thinking themselves into despair.
