Everyone is born weak, what kind of statement is that? Babies are not strong.
Who a person becomes as an adult is a product of their development throughout their formative years. There are many factors in that, so it's far more complex than simple linear correlations, but overall having a shitty upbringing deeply contributes to a person's likelihood of turning out shitty.
The cycle breakers who overcome it do in spite of it all, and are the exceptions rather than the rule. They also likely found support in other areas of their life whether that's through friends, councilors, mentors, therapists, teachers, or what have you.
But someone who found none of those refuges would have extreme difficulty overcoming patterns ingrained through upwards of two decades of narcissistic abuse and emotional neglect starting from infancy.
It's not because they were "born flawed," and that's a very problematic assumption. It's also essentialist, so not very post-modern of you.
I don't debate those who lead and end with insults.
What were the insults? Everything I said was factual.
I didn't call you a dumbass, I said your statement was essentialist and therefore not very post-modern. That's simply true, and if you think that's insulting then that's because you can't handle being corrected.
And if you think saying "babies are weak" is insulting, then you have very flawed expectations for humanity. From your original statement, you said some people are born weak. I corrected you by saying everyone is born weak.
So if anything, you're the one being insulting. Because you have no understanding for sympathy for the helpless state in which we were all introduced into this world.
