So, should children be given to the care of the state at the earliest possible age? Or you'd rather have mass prosecution and re-education to stamp out beliefs

So, should children be given to the care of the state at the earliest possible age? Or you'd rather have mass prosecution and re-education to stamp out beliefs that you dislike?
In the long run, maladaptive beliefs will die out and useful ones will survive, head start or no.
- cyborgx7 10y agoI don't understand. I'm not advocating for the state to stamp out beliefs I disagree with. But the believes that should win out and survive should be the correct ones, not the useful ones.
- khedoros1 10y agoThe person that I replied to seemed to be saying that certain beliefs should be disallowed, and that's what I was responding to. As to what should win out: Truth is a fine ideal to work towards, but one should never expect that it's what will actually win. "Should" is like "deserves". They're nice to think about, but not always realistic.
