I think I get your point - but if we want to have a society with a media, legal, justice, political system etc. - then surely the best people for the job (in the main) are those who studied for it and make a career out of it?
If we barred people from standing under the age of 40, we'd soon have complaints that everyone is too old and out of touch with the younger generations.....

I wasn’t being entirely serious about the “40 thing”, however, I do think it’s important to have people making policies and decisions who have not just studied it but might also have an appreciation of the consequences of those policies/ decisions based on some experience.
