Raise the voting age!

Neuroscientists now claim that the human brain is not
fully developed until age 25-30. We should therefore
raise the voting age to that level. Military service is
different: obedience is valued over thoughtfulness.
With elections, the reverse, thoughtfulness rather than
obedience, should yield better outcomes.
How about a test of competence to vote rather than universal suffrage?
Some people may pass it at age 10 - others never.
