    It’s not entirely clear what you’re saying, but the sooner we acknowledge that children are inevitably formed by their environment and there’s no “natural” way to let them somehow form themselves the sooner we can start discussing what is good to teach them and the correct way to do it.

      Oh so you want to groom children? (this is sarcasm trying to point out why we can’t have nice things)

        Unironically yes. I want to groom them to be a wonderful, compassionate member of society with the tools to manage their mental health and ask for help when they need it.

      I’m not entirely sure what you’re saying either, but nature vs nurture wasn’t settled in nurture’s favor. It’s somewhere in between.

        I’ll be honest, this doesn’t really make sense as a response to my post. It wouldn’t really matter where you or I fall on the nature vs nurture argument for my post to be relevant. (Unless one of us somehow believed it was entirely nature.)

          I think there was an implicit premise (intentional or not) in your statement about there being no natural way to let kids develop, and that’s what they were commenting on.

            Oh I see, I used the word natural and they made the connection to the the idea of nature vs nurture because it also uses nature. That makes sense.

      and can we please start to talk about how parents are not fit to raise children?
      we need child care as a profession.
