I’d give it another 10 years or so. I’m not trying to belittle you, but thinking back to how I was at 20, I would’ve done a poor job. Maybe you’re more mature than I was at that age but some of your comments suggest otherwise. Good luck.
I think maturity is very contextual. And depends how you define maturity. My profesional life has been fairly mature, whereas my attachment to others isn’t as much. But, I honestly, don’t understand your intention in saying that other than to belittle or dismiss. Also, so I can learn can you point out where I was immature- and how I could’ve improved me response?
Maturity is an expression of experience and at 20 you have a limited amount of experience. For example you’re still very close in terms of years to your schooldays and your experience of that leads to you calling school “false imprisonment” which is a terribly immature take imo.
I mean, there are plenty of much older people who have spent much more time in schools than me who have same conclusion. Deschooling/Unschooling is an existing philosophy, you don’t have to think it’s credible, but it’s not like only some random 20 year olds and younger believe in it.
20 you have a limited amount of experience.
Of course, but I also likely have very different experiences than you, so I think I could more aptly speak to my own experiences.
I think not, because there were plenty of times I did have traditionally good teachers, and kind teachers. Most teachers of course want the best for their students. But that form of education just wasn’t effective for me, despite performing well it made me miserable and all the things useful to me in life I taught myself or had to reteach myself as I had forgotten since school. (A problem Caleb Gattegno talked about- how schools teach lack genuine interest and value to the student so of course they forget it. I’ve actually noticed my memory has been significantly better since being out of school, but that could just be placebo or confirmation bias.)
Oof. I’d consider turning down the mod offer and getting a little life experience first if I were you.
At what level of experience would you accept my opposition?

It’s an impossible question to answer but do you think your views on education would be different had you had a better experience in school?
