Losing Faith In Wisdom

 ... or, more accurately, losing faith in age.

I don't remember what I was consuming, possibly Jen Psaki's interview where she started crying because children were being prevented from choosing to be mutilated and poisoned in the name of gender theory, when it hit me that at the core of the issue is the age of the person making the decision.

When leading professional organizations come out and say that we must commit to executing irreversible surgeries and give life-shattering drugs to children at the behest of 13-year-old girls, you know something is terribly wrong. With all due respect, teenage girls aren't the most stable of creatures.

Here at Mudford General Hospital, we've put Tiffany Watson, 14, in charge of patient diagnosis. As soon as her voluntary, radical, double mastectomy is complete, she will be instructing the oncologists on how to treat your tumor.

As I listened to Jen Psaki channel her inner teenager and begin to sob, I thought, "She wants teenage girls making medical decisions.... Wait, what?"

This, of course, is completely insane.

What we're saying as a society, as mainstream, medical associations, as cultural leaders, as political leaders, as educators and more, is that we don't trust our ability to make decisions. We're so insecure that we're outsourcing decision-making to teenage girls.

On top of this, feel free to layer on all of the statue removals, banning of classic books and the rest of the idiocy we do because old things are bad.

The kids aren't the neurotics, we are.
