I’m still struggling to understand how children are core to the human experience and I have two of them.

Really? Before kids my life was all about me. After kids my life became all about them. I thought this was the same for everyone?
Abundance means there’s enough for me and enough for them bro
This is from the wikipedia page for Virginia Louise Roberts Giuffre, “one of the most prominent accusers of the child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.”
so no not “the same for everyone”.
Why would you make such an excessively naive statement as an adult?
I think a helpful concept is, is this idea or statement prescriptive or descriptive?
this is something I learned about in a linguistics class. The professor gave the example of how, in the early years of TV and news broadcasts, everyone talked with the same voice. It was ‘prescriptive’, meaning, there is a “correct” standard that everyone is expected to follow. So if you have an accent or regional dialect, that’s not accepted.
In contrast, is the ‘descriptive’ model - which is to just observe how people are, how they talk, and try to describe it accurately. (respect their individual way of being)
