[split] Ethics - parental responsibility re: children

[Belacqua]

But then if someone chooses not to choose a meaning, I don't see how we can scold that, or say that he's failing in some duty. And if he points out that other people's meanings are just things that they've chosen, and not something objectively real, and that such choices are not mandatory, then consistency demands that we agree. 

Took the words right out of my mouth.

I'm 62 years old, so if I devoted myself to the Delta 8 and porn lifestyle I would feel physically terrible every day. I need that brisk-walk-in-fresh-air habit to feel even slightly human. (YMMV, as they say.)

Maybe that's how I chose, or how fate chose for me: certain things let me feel less yucky than others.
