      I genuinely think shit like this is what promotes antisocial behavior in children. As in clinically antisocial, not just a synonym for introverted.

      Children learn hundreds of new words and new things every week. That’s their entire purpose in life at that age.

      Deliberately lying to them about how basic reality works for extended periods of time is likely what causes the neural short circuits of religion and conservatism.

        Naw, religion and conservatism are just the easy answers people arrive at when they fail to resolve all of the dissonance on their own with a child’s brain.

        The reason people hold those views in to adulthood is quite simply because they are still mentally children. They are underdeveloped losers that society has not yet decided are a problem quite literally on the same level as other developmental issues.

      Yeah. I honestly think it’s also a fuckup to treat children totally differently from adults. Probably around age 7 they start noticing it and a lot of people resent that treatment.

          Yes, you’re the one who needed this comment. Your kids know you’re condescending to them and it’s only a matter of time before they act out because of the damage this is doing to them

          So, what’s the difference? Adults spend 8 hours someplace they don’t want to be for the betterment of their future, meanwhile kids spend 8 hours someplace they don’t want to be for the betterment of the future…

          Both eat, drink, sleep, feel, have relationships and responsibilities.

          The main difference is one cannot call your bullshit till it grows older and trust me, if you lie, bend the truth and basically abuse your kid, it will bring consequences.

          For me it’s absolute lack of faith into anything anyone says, no matter how close to me they are. For some it’s closing their minds and ignoring the problem. For others, it may lead to fighting against liars - their parents.

          So yeah, please commit to keeping that opinion buried somewhere where it cannot create pain for others.
