Is there a feedback effect from your perception of the sexual landscape onto the development of your children?

I don't know.

It's conceivable that there is such a thing.

But I do know that if we were wise, we would.

slow the pace of experienced change way down.

I'm not saying it is, but I'm saying if we don't, I think we know that we're doomed.

So in light of that, what would you do if you knew that down that path was destruction?

You would start thinking about the question of, is there some way, maybe you can't reign in the pace of technological change.

You can certainly,

And we should, if we were wise, we would insulate young people from exposure, especially to new stuff, right?

There's a question about what stuff that we already have, what effect it's having on them.

But the fact that we're just going to expose them to every new revolution without figuring out what its consequences are is insane, right?

We need to provide...

Young people with a chemically and informationally stable environment where the puzzles are solvable and they are relevant to the adult world we expect them to live in, which is difficult because we don't know what world they're going to live in.

But not immunizing them is a terrible error.

It can't work.

The reason human childhood is the longest developmental childhood in the animal kingdom by far is that it is the training for adult life.

If the training ground doesn't match the world that you're going to be an adult in because the world you're going to be an adult in is something nobody can predict, it is guaranteed to make you a fish out of water as an adult.

It's extremely disruptive.

Completely new.
