No. This is utterly and dangerously wrong. It's the complete opposite. The first 1-2 years have the biggest impact on the child's psychological health as an adult. It's also when their personality is formed. There's a re

I think communism requires society to operate in an unstable state away from its Nash equilibrium, so it needs a strong dictatorship to keep people coerced into working against their personal interests (even if that's ultimately better

Nevermind that dip. The bigger problem is if your relationship ends up unhappy or broken and never rebounds. The solution to that seems to be to develop some kind of codependent loving emotional connection. Codependency sounds scary because

Why do people keep ascribing high housing costs to some nebulous "greed"? Isn't all economic activity due to greed? Anyone trying to choose a lower priced thing to buy or trying to get paid a higher wage is also doing it beca

No, sorry. It's something I read about while researching insecure attachment styles of adults. They attribute it to neglectful or inconsistently caring parenting. Research might be poor quality because it's social science but it&#

A lot of the techniques, such as these, really seem to be just imitating what a fully attentive mother without modern parenting aids would be doing. ie. carrying the baby on her body all day, and allowing it to breastfeed at will. Pacifier

Huh? That's consistent, isn't it? No impact on cavities, height, blood pressure, etc. but an impact on GI tract infection and eczma. Well, those don't sound like serious problems so maybe it's not worth it.

Well, I don't think people need to try every random trick in the hopes that one magically works, but all the basic options, yea, especially holding them against your body. The main aim should be to prevent lifelong emotional damage, no

Yep. Around the 70's or 80's, there was a reversal of the consensus of whether formula is just a good as breastfeeding. Personally, I think even pumped breastmilk isn't as good either because it lacks the psychological effect

If you believe the consensus of medical professionals, then yes there is. In my country, Infant formula comes with a government-mandated warning on the tin recommending you not to use it. Maternity wards won't give it to newborns unles

I don't understand why migrating humans seems to surprise anyone. With stone-age technology, people can walk across a continent within a lifetime or sail across an ocean (Polynesians). What obstacles would have stopped million-year old

Now you're claiming it was "forcible"? What does that mean? With the application of force? It's not forcible if there's no contact. You really did make a misleading claim about smashing through barricades which show

"smash through" is not consistent with "avoid the collision". I don't see any evidence of your claim of smashing through. Did you embellish the story in your head and only realized you'd been fooling yourself w

Handy hint for arguing on the internet. All your sources, with the possible exception of cp24.com are openly politically biased in the direction of your argument. There's no use using them to persuade anyone. Using sources whose bias i

It really doesn't matter how obvious it is if you follow the easiest rule of not getting scammed: - If anyone initiates contact with you, don't trust any claims they make about their identity. If you only trust real law firms, ver
