I suppose it's a good thing that by your metrics I quit the game a few years ago.
All I kept thinking of when reading the OP's post was Dana Carvey's voice narrating the words.
As a self confessed older player, RELSPI has clearly set this thread up as a place for fellow older cmdr's to socialise.
The original post was cleverly worded to look like something us oldies would enjoy moaning about and it acted like a magnet...
Now we've gone off on random tangents and forgotten what the original question was, so are stood about with ear trumpets and the confused looks that we get when someone turns the big light on in the pub.
It's working - so pass the gin thelion, old boy.... and get some scampi fry's while you're at the bar.
And whilst you're at the bar old chap, please ask which month was my wife. Thanks old chap.
Yeah, but the joking bit should be self-evident within the original post.
Greetings,
Loved the OPs satire! Worried that some posters didn't get it...Then again maybe the OP was serious. Can't really tell.
Didn't you see Logan's Run (c1976)? An old movie most young people never heard of much less seen. Today it wouldn't hold their attention for more than five minutes as Industrial Light and Magic didn't do the special effects. It didn't work out for all those young people having a party life thinking that they new everything about their world then required to die at age 30.
Year 2020 the world is in a mess...Well, it's always been in a mess because humans find amazing ways to mess it up. Given the political indoctrination of students and some of the silliest degrees ever conceived at major college universities many would probably agree with "Let's party then die at 30".
So what 20 year old is going to have the resources, experience and dedication to advance our world with real science, philosophy, finances, politics and human nature? just getting to a Bachelor's degree comes at best age 22. What change with young college students protesting in San Francisco is going to change the world with too many dictators killing their population all for power and greed?
Human evolution started about seven million years ago probably when some apelike creatures in Africa began to walk habitually on two legs. Their emotions are still deep within our genes. Today's technology isn't the problem. It just gives us a more efficient way to hate or kill each other who disagree with us.
If aliens from other planets might be checking on us they are not going to land until we get our act together.
Meanwhile some people older than 20 who without them we wouldn't have their imaginations in our lives.
David Braben 56
Ian Bell 58
George Lucas 76
Steven Spielberg 73
Isaac Asimov died at 72
Robert Heninlein died at 77
Ray Bradbury died at 92
You can add many more.
Douglas Adams only made it to age 49 collapsing while working out in a gym in Santa Barbra, CA. That darn high blood pressure the heart doesn't like. Still where would we be without the definitive "Don't Panic" encyclopedia all space travelers should carry. Don't forget your towel...
Regards

Oh look, a list of dead people. I suppose the OP wants to ban them as well?
It's a long bachelor's degree if you don't graduate until you're 220 years old... 
I agree with RELSPI. I'm into my 60s and I only play Elite when drunk, mega drunk. I'm a danger to myself and everyone else out there. I should be banned. I'm full on folly mode and it's doubtful I can learn anything from my, quite frankly, inebriated behaviour.
OTH, fill the glass again my fine fellow and let's tango 'til the end of time.

It's hard to disagree with your summation but, once again I find myself staring into the bottom of an empty glass. So what do I know?
I can only conclude that some people only read the thread title and then jump straight to replying...usually angrily. Seriously. They read absolutely none of the OP or any replies. Just the title.
Anyway back to the topic, I am still undecided on the matter, ask me again tomorrow.
