Birthdays

It’s my brother’s birthday today, and in an email I wrote to him, I came up with the following idea:

I was thinking that humans should have two different kinds of birthdays, one for mental maturity and one for physical age. And you should also be punished for moving backwards in mental maturity, as many do. It would be like an advancement/regression program, where you get gifts for becoming more aware, and get a smack upside the head for being an idiot.

Well I think it would a good idea. You could get recognition upon death depending on what age you acquired mentally after all those years. My feelings are that most would be in the minus figures, but that’s just me.
