I think we need to put people into a coma somewhere between 16 and 18 years of age, and wake them up when they have less of a chance of being stupid, naive, oversensitive, etc.. Maybe get 'em up when they're 50 or so.

Can you suspend our body from aging in this timeframe as well?

What kids are lacking though is wisdom, not intelligence. Intelligence is wasted and even dangerous when not coupled with wisdom.

Revisionist history based on political correctness is in its early stages. In the years to come this crap will intensify as more and more people try to figure out other things they can feel offended or threatened by. No stone will remain unturned.

Yep, I'll never forget something I heard an old warhorse tell a young chemical engineer many years ago. He said; "unamed, you're real smart, but you're dumb as hell". Maybe you had to be there, but it's stuck with me for 35 years.

LoL. I think I've heard that a time or two.
Another one I've heard that I liked from a co-worker, "the smarter they are, the more common sense eludes them."

I have observed many intelligent people who are seemingly devoid of wisdom (street smarts or just plain common sense) yet they're knowledgeable about so much.
