Nerve bundles in the brain increase in volume until we turn 40 and

How do they expect not to have age related job discrimination when research keeps coming up with stuff like this?

They don’t expect to not have age related job discrimination.  I expect age related job discrimination.

 

What surprises me is that with all the cool stuff we have figured out as a species, we still haven’t invented a way to make a rainbow go up at the ends instead of down.
