Planetary contradictions.
It’s a planet filled with unseemly violence. It’s not a good look. If an alien were peeing from above or simply scrolling through the front pages they might get a bit sick. Texas police officers on children, US and Iran, Ukraine and Russia, Sudan’s Civil War with support for SAF from (Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iran, Turkey, Qatar, Russia, Eritrea and TPLF) and for RSF (UAE, Ethiopia and Chad) with other actors being US, Wagner (Africa Corps), Libya, Syria and Central African Republic.
The Texas school children would probably willing not trade places with the children in Sudan. Nor should they. All I am saying is there are problems and there are problems. I grew up in a strict Catholic school where they didn’t have police officers but they had a principal who was the meanest junkyard dog I had ever met. When he walked the hallways every kid was in silent awe. Conversation stopped. All of us in our school uniforms like defeated cadets. There were no vapes, or fights or bad behavior. Perhaps it was the country, where poverty was so predominant and visible on the streets that the kids were simply glad to be in an asymptotically calm placed ruled by Father Dominic. Texas may be different. I haven’t spent any amount of time there other than a couple of quick visits to Austin.
Early childhood upbringing does matter. Each child is different. Each family is different. Some families have fights as a rousing welcome. Walk these mean streets. Other families have butlers and coiffed meals. To try and cover what is happening in Texas within the realm of one article does justice to non-diversity. I am guessing the brain tech is being rolled out slowly and carefully. Let’s for a second imagine that kids around America had AI in them. Alien AI or whatever. Each AI has to adjust to the environment they find in homes and schools. All I am saying is discipline matters, especially in what ought to be a calm environment like a school. There ought to be uniforms because they subconsciously enforce uniformity. Kids in their teen years have a rebel spirit. Their ego and hormones flare the highest then. That ought to be taken in account without crushing that spirit.
Then again, earth is a place where kids are forced in genders and sexuality. Or non-specific genders. Or whatever. I don’t have much hope for the planet. Look at the sheer amount of countries involved in Sudan. It’s not dissimilar from a playground fight with two girls fighting while the other kids egg them on. Or a boxing match filled with cheering spectators. Drago! Drago! Drago!
Sorry. My alien friends find my reports amusing. In other news, I learned about Operation Tiger, a tragic practice run before D-Day by watching a trailer. You know what’s strange? German tanks were called Tigers too.
