As opposed to ones in their 20s ?
I took a decade to form political opinions I took time to read a ton of books. I wasnt ready to participate to any debate when I was 20. I started to clear my ideas abit around 25, I didnt have money back then to pursue hobby. I didnt have any achievement worth renouncing. I agree with buddha that intellectual pursuits are only for people who did something in life. Its completely useless to pursue enlightenment or spirituality if youre poor good for nothing. You would just pretend to be renouncing to something you never had, it would never be sincere.
So by avg, most people who get into politics are over 30. People who have something they can give away or status to spend or possessions they can abandon. If youre a good for nothing, you dont have these things, and your first priority should be to obtain them so maybe later you realize they were useless and you were cut for different stuff. And maybe you get into politics. Maybe. Or maybe you dont, and you keep grining sigma lifestyle.
