Oh, I agree with you in regards for the ID requirements. That is not a solution (especially for social networks that are not self identifying like FB)

Here's the reality: some significant % of parents will have zero parental responsibility and are ill suited to be parents. This is just a fact. How to solve this? 1. Only allow suitable responsible people to be parents. Would you like

The depressing part is that there's a large subset of people that can't even begin to grasp just how extremely embarassing it is to attach accelerometers to tribesmen and then think it becomes a steam engine and can be modeled as

Where's the spiritual part? Recognizing that humans, just like birds are self-replicating biological machines is the most level-headed way of looking at it. It is consistent with observations and there are no (apparent) contraditions.

Humans are obviously machines. If not, what are humans then? Fairies? Now once you've recognized that, you're better equiped for task at hand - which is augmenting and ultimately automating away every task that humans-as-machines

But this isn't about books children want to read at all, is it? Do these concerned parents (censors) want to take off Harry Poters and The Hobbit and similar in demand youth literature? Doesn't look like it at all. As far as I can
