Slightly on topic, but yesterday I discovered that I'm the same age as Rishi Sunak, and it's fucking with my brain that I'm the same age as the Prime Minister. Something about that just ain't right.

Rob Ford was in his thirties when he was mayor of Toronto but if you look at pictures of him you'd never believe it.

Think about all the football players that have started and ended their careers already, all while being younger than you

Idk... I feel like that's okaish...you don't want to end up on Biden/Trump age for a leader.

Older age isn't necessarily a negative factor in leadership, but I know what you're saying. However, I can't deal with the fact that I'm 43 and don't feel like a grown up, so does that mean our Prime Minister feels the same way about himself? I can't square that circle, y'know?

I don't know about Sunak specifically, but generally the types of people who succeed at politics have way too much unjustified self-confidence to introspect that much.
