You rock! I wish more people were selfless enough to realize they aren't in a position to raise kids due to their lifestyle or beliefs etc.

You made me think I was losing my mind for a minute! I went back to reread my showerthought to make sure I thought it out properly.

Again, arguing over semantics. I've no time for this. Open your eyes, have a scroll through this thread and you'll see that we're both right. Have a good one as well.

>Yeah, that isn't acting like an adult. Plenty of kids do things like that all the time in a healthy context.
The parents are offloading their adult responsibilities onto their children. We can do semantics all day long but neither one of us is wrong here.

Certainly, and this is what I had in mind with this showerthought. I wasn't trying to portray the children as doing actual adult things like getting a job or paying taxes, etc.

Certainly, there's a wide spectrum of possibilities and outcomes that can result from such behavior so it isn't an either/or type of situation.

What do you mean? You've misread my showerthought because you just accurately described what the thought was about lol.

Sorry you feel that way. Perhaps your experience isn't the same that others have had? Have you considered this? You're right there are plenty of examples where this cycle continues, but there are just as many where the children had to grow up fast to take care of their siblings etc.
This thread has comments providing examples of both.

Be grateful you're mature and intelligent enough to be aware of it at all! Most people aren't even able to connect those dots as you've done, and they end up suffering because of it.

This situation wouldn't apply to you, you're actually doing things right. This showerthought is based on parents who are neglectful due to their immaturity.

> We act like such but also have a balanced decision making and adulting
This showerthought isn't applicable to this situation then. I'm talking about adults who can't take care of their own kids, not what you're describing.

The only thing scarier is an AI controlled entirely by these same people. We can install all the safeguards we want into AI, but what's stopping a nation state from doing whatever they please with it?

For sure. I only used it as a go-to example precisely because of how overt the behavior is in there. You put a bunch of violent convicts into a confined space and the strongest inevitably will prey on anyone that shows weakness, from their perspective.

You're right, however this does happen on an individual level. Some people absolutely perceive weakness in others and take advantage by harming/robbing/sexuall assaulting them etc. Take a look in any prison and you'll see this in plain view. It happens on the street as well but prison is the most obvious example.
