I need to remember this one, thanks!
The only way parents can try to protect their kids from the world is to keep them isolated, homeschooled, or in some kind of commune or cult. Which unfortunately is not uncommon in the US.
> let parents figure out how to parent
While I agree, I also think there's a role in society to help parents on how to parent, via e.g. education and awareness. Every generation brings new unknowns, like what kids can do in Roblox or how they can browse the internet on their smart fridge, and it's unreasonable to assume every parent knows all of that.
direct experience beats reasoning which beats testimony, if you want something else ponder.

i was quite blunt and one sided in my previous as it was more about the HN “vibes” than actual parenting.
there is definitely more nuance to the whole topic of parenting!
