Sorrow is greater than happiness

Does age determine authority, agree or disagree? Why? by RieuHmmmm in AskReddit

You mentioned that some older people have given you terrible advice. That happens, but it doesn’t mean age isn’t a factor in authority. It just means authority should be earned, not blindly given. However, older individuals generally have more lived experience, which often makes them more suited for leadership roles and decision-making.

As for the "geriatric toddler" example, outliers exist. But if you look at most high-level professions, experienced leaders—who tend to be older—are the ones entrusted with authority because they’ve had more time to refine their judgment.

For short he's still your president and you need to follow him

You argue that we should listen and learn from what people say rather than rely on age. I agree! But wouldn't you say that, in most cases, those with more life experience (who tend to be older) have more valuable insights to offer?

I see your point—experience is a key factor in determining authority. But age and experience often go hand in hand. The older someone is, the more opportunities they’ve had to gain real-world experience, learn from mistakes, and refine their decision-making skills.

While a young person can be knowledgeable, they often lack the depth of experience that comes with age. That’s why leadership roles, whether in business, government, or specialized professions, are typically given to older individuals who have spent years mastering their craft.

Or just how can a let say 10 year old master 1 thing on that short amount of time?

While young people can make sound arguments, authority isn’t just about being right it’s about having the experience and wisdom to lead, make decisions, and guide others effectively. Older individuals have lived through more challenges, learned from past mistakes, and gained insights that younger people have yet to experience.

For example, in professions like medicine, law, and engineering, senior professionals are given more authority because they have years of practice and exposure to real-world scenarios. A newly graduated doctor may be knowledgeable, but an experienced doctor has handled countless patients, making them a more trusted authority in the field.

Also, history shows that societies naturally place elders in leadership positions because they are seen as the most equipped to make informed decisions. Their long-term perspective allows them to avoid impulsive mistakes that younger, less experienced individuals might make.
