My main metaphor I guess is that I like to be annoying to my children, but I don't really have children yet, so I'm just looking forwards to annoying my children. It's just the most exciting part of potentially having children - having unlimited power and time to be able to troll them. And seeing how these great neural networks try to adapt to it. I will do my best to keep them guessing for sure.

I really hope you change your outlook on children development by the time you get to having them, unless you're talking about kids older than 7 y.o. If you really want to, you can make kids think whatever you want, that's why religious brainwashing is so effective.

  Could you please elaborate on what exactly you hope I change my outlook on.

    Trolling, as it may make children not trust your words if what you say is consistently a lie/joke. The children may be also laughed at by their colleagues if they repeat your words at kindergarden/early school.

      It is a fair point as people have told me before, but I will show this thread to my children as I get them and ask what is their opinion on the matter before choosing my final outlook as well.

My father got a kick out of being like this - there are 1000s of recycling numbers - color was invented in the mid 20th century, "back in the black & white days" - giving random sounds to toys (trex goes neigh) - he told my sister he could fly. She believed it was happening for a moment when he slowly flapped his hands & went up on tippy toes - accidentally he explained to her a scifi short story where martian colonies seek indepence by collecting water from Saturn's rings. She wasn't corrected until she brought it up at school, where her real father was a bit annoyed about my father feeding her nonsense all the time Overall good upbringing & it's good to teach kid's not to be so gullible
