The Guy from Spirit Science has Some Balls
The guy who makes the spirit science videos is kind of a moron. Amazing batshit stunt here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSh4omTySq4. After that, he shows you his materia collection.
Parenting is Bullshit
Parenting: What the fuck do I know about that, I have no kids. If I criticize someone's parenting, they'll surely point out just that. So, here's the thing: if no one knows jack crap about parenting, at least until they become parents and magically attain some esoteric knowledge unique to people who have successfully spawned their own hell raiser, how come everyone gets to be an unsupervised parent to their own kids? You know you've heard a practice child joke or two about first borns.
Here's another question: Do we all assume everyone knows what's best for their baby and if so do they really? I just know it's their responsibility, not mine. I would have said problem in lieu of responsibility, but then I realized it is my problem if their child grows up and becomes a lousy human being. How do we measure the lousiness of a human being and how do we account for what contributes to a person ultimately becoming lousy or not? I think these are things we should have down on a list by now. Parenthood seems to be an institution that is much more intuitive than intellectual. Does that bother anyone?
I think there must be some parenting methods that are superior to others, and it's probably relative to the kid and/or the parent. Doesn't that sound like something very important to figure out as a society? I think teaching parenting in schools is also wise. The textbook for that course could be called "How to Care for a Baby: Ensuring Optimum Psychological Development in Infants" or something like that. Any topic about raising kids could probably divide people into two or more camps. Corporal punishment vs time outs for instance; Are one of these camps wrong, neither, or both? Someone's fucking up!
