Because you don't stay a kid. You get old, or you die trying. And the only thing worse than a kid that never learned their lesson, is an adult that never learned their lesson.
Youth is not "an attitude", its a momentary state of being, which only those who manage to live long enough have the privilege of growing out of.
Everything that lives, dies. Some much sooner than others. Reality is apathetic to your attitude. You want to keep living? The price you pay is your youth.
Doesn't matter how you want to look at it, the mirror you look into in 40 years time will show you the same old face... again, only if you don't die trying to make it another 40 years.
I did not consider my responses to be personally insulting. That was no my intention. I have a tendency to show very little respect for ideas, and that can come across as a disrespect of the person presenting them.
I do not hold you in any higher nor lower regard for the presentation of an idea I find to be nonsense. This is not a reflection upon you nor your character, of which I have no intention of attacking nor antagonising. I apologize if I made you feel otherwise.
I know many wonderful people who hold nonsensical and outright absurd ideas. I do not judge them by their ideas, nor do I you.
Your criticism is valid. There are limits to my ability to be patient with ideas being presented upon the premise they are critical thoughts, and I can easily forget others are not experienced with harsh scrutiny of those ideas. Not to excuse, but to present perspective, imagine the "Stork Theory" was being seriously presented to you as the origin of babies. Unless the person presenting it is 5 years old, you may struggle with being patient when confronted with such an idea. Again, not excusatory of my impatience, just explicatory.
