  At 23, men’s frontal lobes aren’t even fully developed. You’re substantially wrong.

    At 23 you can hold a security clearance. Being 23 does not make you a liar, security risk or inherently untrustworthy.

    At 50 you can be a lying stealing murdering meth addict.

    His age is not the problem here.

    You are demonstrably wrong. Perhaps there is an issue with your frontal lobes if you cannot comprehend this simple concept.

  That 23 year old can easily be compromised. I know this because he was, by musk.

    So criticise him for being a boot licking clown employed by the Swasticar king.

    Age is not a valid criticism here.

      Every person is different. But on average, younger people are easier to trick. As are the elderly. The former lacks experience. The latter loses faculties.

      It’s ageist to pre judge a ~person~ based on age. It’s not ageist to understand the progression of the human mind.

      You wouldn’t say it’s ageist that babies are easy to trick, would you?

        There it is again, infantilizing an adult.

        There’s no evidence this guy has been tricked. There’s a lot of evidence he’s a piece of shit.

  “ageism”

  What are you, 14?

    I’m almost old enough to be his father, and also old enough to recognise that you’re a fucking muppet

      Oh god! Not the Muppet!

  So you dont mind a inexperienced 23 years old running the energy dept. You know the one whom handles fissile materials etc…

    His age and his lack of clearance are entirely separate matters, one is worthy of criticism and the other isn’t.

      What about experience? Can a 23 year old have the experience to understand the gravity of what he is dealing with?

        A 23 year old is an adult, can drive, have children and kill people in war.

        Stop infantilising the person. You should criticise them based on their actual actions.

  If you think any 23 year old should be allowed to create backdoors into the systems that control nukes then you are probably too young to properly judge this situation.

  • Cypher@lemmy.world ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Criticising the installation of back doors is valid, trying to paint me as not old enough is hilarious and more ageism.

    Not only am I old enough, I happen to be a cyber security expert, capable of understanding that a Government department has more than one system, and backdoors to one system does not magically grant access to nukes.

      It’s just funny you crying agism and defending this guy for literally any reason

      I just don’t defend fascists

      • Predalien@sh.itjust.works ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        He’s not defending anyone though, as I understand it he’s just saying that there are valid reasons for criticising this, but age isn’t among them
