Good take from @Grow_Wiser For many of us, drilling into kids “work → to feel worthy” is Evil Our memories of the psy-op are too painful, our undoing of it not yet complete https://t.co/LZXu679HdR

But from a bigger, more equanimous standpoint, the psy-op is but one of the humanity meta-organism’s many bids for survival The meta-organism, doing what it can, to stay alive Keep children producing, keep humans reproducing

It may match your aesthetics. It may not @Grow_Wiser’s aesthetics seem to respect teaching kids competence and growing them into responsible adults. It’s a fine conservateur mindset By that line, the psy-op is fine

My aesthetics skew heavily towards liberating the oppressed. Unlearning schemas, witnessing the world. Rich, emotionally-nuanced parenting Psy-op = not cool https://t.co/vOS98f89Lt https://t.co/FLns2TKzH6

But idealism is easy I would rather infinite resources for every child. No painful “work → to be worthy” psy-ops necessary But “work → to be worthy” is lindy, and it’s here to stay https://t.co/OaSi42WrNn

When someone says “X is lindy,” it might be a . . . - prediction that X will be around for a long time - admonishment at the idea you can simply eradicate X - exhortation to consider the unacknowledged, sticky factors why X has survived so long

It’s worth to me not considering the psy-op Evil, because frankly, I don’t know what the word Evil means anymore https://t.co/RIF5ySy1UX

Good and Bad have lost their meaning to me.

More important to me than my aesthetics are my meta-aesthetics: May I hold conviction and complexity. May I feel past the mono-cultures. May I see the war and see it not as war. https://t.co/MzMzjKSuk8

There is a war between the ones who say there is a war and the ones who say there isn't https://t.co/eFbjSrPMtT
