that sounds like a sensible theory
I hope you teach your child that having sensible theories and an 'understanding' of the world is just a foolish illusion. He/she should know/learn that very few people actually know what they are talking about, and comprehensive knowledge is just a lie people tell themselves so they can sleep better at night.
Please let your child know that there is only one certain way forward, one way that can be absolutely counted on and understood. Let him/her know that humans operate on spoken words, and sometimes read words, and that writing them in the correct sequence, or saying them in the correct sequence, can alter a human's mind in very odd ways.
Every day is a story that can be forgotten or told or misremembered.
i'll keep that in mind ;) not to pat myself on the back too much but he's almost as lucky to have me as I am to have him. I say "sensible theory" about theories that fit into the realm of reality and has a probability of being true, but I hear many sensible theories about the same thing and they cant all be right.
I took OSHA 30 in tradeschool and it taught me about facemask health and safety. Didnt think much of it but when the pandemic hit years later, I was shocked that a bunch of doctors were encouraging masks and mask mandates without providing any information on the proper use of masks and deliberately lied about the properties of the facemasks they were mandating. No one looked the information up themselves, they just believed it! It was after that day i stopped trusting people to even wipe there own ass.
Mr. Toddler is off to a good start. He has good genetics, his fathers smarts, and his mother's work ethic. I'm going to give him as many tools as i can for him to draw his own conclusions and be an independent thinker when he is older so he doesnt believe everything he's told or sees without researching it himself. The future is going to blow our minds
That is good. I would still like to read your book on how kids should act around dogs, although I think you are missing the low-hanging fruit. Are you going to illustrate it?
