		<description>Surprise, surprise&#8212;NPR did &lt;a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=125902095" rel="nofollow"&gt;a much better job on the middle-aged&lt;/a&gt;. Isn't it interesting that teenage brains "aren't fully connected," but middle-aged brains "can see the big picture"?</description>

		<description>hello Willem. Teens are so different. I cant understand everything. Im behind a inner world. Where teens are dangour. Its part of life circle that to feel fear, when we get to close to someone. Or in situation where we get hurt often. People out of society context, as an experiement or just by a life situation. Dont understand. 

Who can we have make trust to each other, being nice and gentle. or in fighting with kind of looking for each.

Its too easy too do it easy. alot of peoples dont get help a simple rants or textes. Or just comit out of helplessness. I like your work. I follow it since few years. You lost ure teen spirit a bit man. Me too ithink. Its so intelligent yours game. I can learn something...I wish a form of clear instruction. Orconsise. One word or one sentence of meaning.

Do you can take my feedback, my opinion?</description>

		<description>Seems trifling to note this, but since I heard you say this before and absorbed its more profound meanings then, reading it this time made me think of games. When Chronica Feudalis came out, some of the indie kids started musing about historically-accurate medieval games. &lt;a href="http://story-games.com/forums/comments.php?DiscussionID=11208" rel="nofollow"&gt;Zac D. had some ideas&lt;/a&gt; about using the "&lt;a href="http://www.historyguide.org/ancient/lecture23b.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;three orders&lt;/a&gt;" of medieval society. As Bishop Adalbero of Laon put it, "Here below, some pray, others fight, still others work." Zac proposed that you make a character who explicitly belongs to one of these orders. If you make a knight, you automatically win in a fight against a cleric or a peasant. If you make a cleric, you automatically win spiritual or intellectual conflicts with knights or peasants. If you're a peasant, you automatically win conflicts involving physical labor against clerics or knights.

Your statement made me think if the Fifth World should do something like that, honoring age instead of such an absurd "caste" system. You can play a Child, an Adolescent, an Adult, or an Elder. As a Child, you'll always beat an Adolescent, an Adult, or an Elder at playing. As an Adolescent, you'll always beat a Child, an Adult, or an Elder at risking. As an Adult, you'll always beat a Child, an Adolescent, or an Elder at providing, and as an Elder, you'll always beat a Child, an Adolescent, or an Adult at sharing stories. And naturally, a healthy society needs them all. It gets interesting when you get to the question of which one you need &lt;em&gt;right here&lt;/em&gt;.</description>

		<description>This remembers me of the people that to this day engage in the process of creating the world. This remembers me of the ever-latering day. This remembers me of life always being a verb. Willem my western mind wants to praise you ! but my wild side wants to say: Sure, you're being so obvious!!!! :)

thanks</description>

		<description>Oh my God. Willem, thank you SO much for this article. As a parent, it's the best thing I could have heard right now as I gaze out with my mind's eye across the mist-shrouded landscape of my daughter's future life.

Unfortunately it's also the WORST thing to hear as an adult with his teen and "risk-taking years" behind him. When I read your punchline, I wept, seriously. I feel those years are squandered forever, that I truly "haven't lived." Jason's words are a comfort, though--the knowledge that the brain NEVER "finishes" developing that way, as well as the friendship of folks at a similar stage of existence (like you!)  gives me hope that I'll be able to fully claim my present moment for the fullest life possible.

Whew. What an emotional wringer! But a necessary one, I think. I think I'll have to blog it myself.

Thanks once again for kicking off the crust of lies and letting life shine through.

Peace,
-Joel</description>

		<description>Excellent.  Perfect, great.  This is all so true; it takes a particularly brave version of an adult (in the current society) to support teens in their wildness; well written, good on ya!!</description>
