“It is probably better to get married
when you are young
because then you grow up.”
Is it being suggested that people get married when they are fourteen years of age or younger?
This, coming from an acclaimed psychologist.
This, coming from a renowned academic.
The way this is framed, is such condescending and self-righteous bullshit, which is typical of your average psychologist and academic.
So, what is being said here, is that One is only able to mature, if One is married.
One is only able to care for others, if One has children.
One cannot be mature or have the capacity to care for others, unless they are married and have children.

You are not special, simply because you are married.
You are not special, simply because you have children.
Reducing complex issues down to such simplistic blanket statements, shows that academia and the study of psychology are in a pitiful state.
This guy needs to hand back his degrees and doctorates and maybe get a refund.
The moral of the story here?
Be wary of psychologists and academics in general.
Because many times, they are just full of shit.
Finally, if you are going to be condescending, at least know what you are talking about.
