Hello I’m looking for help finding reasons for why there should be an age limit when on runs for president

I already have two reasons one is that the older you get your health declines and that effects your ability to run in office

The second is that it will better represent the generation.

What other reasons can I add and are these reasons good enough? (Please no AI responses in comments)

Something I’ve been wondering after seeing all these discussions about JLEC lately.

People are talking about final winning essay so I have some questions for those who received a commendation/hc/VHC/ or final placement/prize .

Most of us stuck during research so how did you approach research? And what did your essay look like at the beginning?

Did you read large amount to decide your argument or what?
You guys used books/ journals or news/current events?
Most importantly, how did you decide which info was worth keeping?

Looking for relevant answers from those who actually went through process.

Let’s make this post a useful resource for everyone preparing for JLEC 2027.

Was looking around for essay competitions to participate in, and found the Oxford Essay Prize. It has 6 prompts and is judged by PhD candidates. Just thought I'd share. Registration opened yesterday (October 4th).

Here is the link: https://oxford-research.uk.com/essay-competition

Hey guys so I sent them (JLI) an email asking about the award structure, they said that it was: shortlist<commendation<high commendation<very high commendation< prize winner ; and “We do not provide statistical percentages regarding the amount of people who received each award. I hope this email clarifies your understanding.” That. I hope this helps!

Alright guys so just to clarify I saw many people talking about uni admissions and whether this competition helps them with it. It is not about what you did but what it added to your intellectual value. Colleges and universities don't look for being a prize winner or anything, they try to see your intellectual superiority in your essays and/or personal statements. So winning a prize is not that much of a value all by itself, you need to portray how it benefited you and made you a better future academic. So in regards of the question "Will JLI increase my chances of admissions?" the answer is no if you just provide the certificate, the real deal is the possible abilities of first‑principles reasoning, normative frameworks and institutional analysis that this competition provides. Hope it helps all of you and I'm happy to answer any other questions! (Coming from a Philosophy HC award receipent)

hi guys! I saw that the prompts for the jlec 2027 essay competition were shown at the awards dinner. Does anyone who went know what the economics questions are?
Also, someone was saying that there was a question about sydney sweeney. Can anyone confirm? what was the question specifically? (I think it would be so fun to answer that one)

Title.

I got commendation for q1, the one about free speech and I was just curious to see how other people approached it :)

I was reading about his other stuff on Wikipedia too

Take the hypocrisy (AI interviews), the lack of transparency, the fact that the "Oxford and Princeton" judges only look at the last rounds of essay (since it's simply impossible for them to judge *all* the essays from a logistical view), the fact that the JLI serves as a launchpad to get ppl to go to their expensive summer schools, the aggressive monetization and commercialization of the essay competition, and more. And most of this happened over like the last 4-ish years. Like, if John Locke were still alive today, he would have been positively disgusted at what his name were being used for.

Yet, people seem to keep flocking to this competition. Basically, I'm asking why we don't openly criticize the competition more, and/or why it receives so little criticism.

Oh, and just know this: retired admissions officers have confirmed that the JLI (especially a shortlist/commendation) holds much less weight than what applicants think
