Instead of piling on I’ll instead link to a heartening clip from Malcolm in the Middle where Hal and Lois resolve the question of who loves whom more. https://

  What I love about this is how much is said between the lines. The red pill type folk want to talk about a lot of this stuff explicitly and that makes people feel uncomfortable. But it's clear from dialogue like this that the ideas are understood by many and perhaps can be discussed, even on children's TV. This is one of the reasons I love comedy. It's the only way to tell the truth and find out what other people think. If someone laughs at something, then they believe it. As for Malcolm in the Middle, I was far too young to understand dialogue like this when I watched it, but even as a child I could tell there was something "more" to it then there seemed. It's such a high quality show. A big difference between American and British shows is the British ones seem clearly divided between for children and for adults. Stuff like Doctor Who, which is made for children, seem to have nothing to stimulate the adult brain. But perhaps that means stuff for adults, like Black Mirror, can be more efficient by ignoring the child demographic completely. I'm glad both approaches exist.
