...you disagree that looking at research is wise when considering what is best? That's. Unfortunate.
Yeah, research shows that you don't know how kids turn out until after they're adults and raising their own kids, and by then there's an impossible amount of variables to account for and only a few snapshots of what was working in the modern age, at best.
Now aside from all that spiel, you're trying to change what the point is. It's stupid to just always go with "the safest thing". What's your master plan? Eliminate all risk at the cost of freedom and fun until the odds of tragically dying reach an equilibrium with people killing themselves from being depressed?
You do realize I never even shared my own stance of what I think might be best, correct?
Sounds to me like you have some resistance to looking at research, which again, is unfortunate. Your own stance might be backed by it.
My master plan here is to encourage science literacy. That's it.
