So, not REMOTELY to excuse any of this, because it's 200% inexcusable, but just to ANALYZE it: In earlier times the nunneries and monasteries were dumping grounds for unwanted people. That's both good and bad. (thread)

Ideally we'd have no unwanted / unloved children, but we always do. 100 years ago they ended up in orphanages, or pushed into nunneries at young ages. Today they end up aborted, or on the street, or in foster care.

None of these options is good. I do not excuse, but I UNDERSTAND some of the abuse when you picture a 20 or 22 year old nun who was a child thrown out by her own mother, not remotely given the skills or resources she needs to cope, and given hundreds of children to deal with.

Both the nun and the kids in question are not going to be average in executive function, IQ, etc., but - on average - are going to be lower than average. So we've got untrained, low quality ppl in charge of huge numbers of untrained... blah blah blah inmates, locked in together

Wife and I are many SD above typical, much more systems focused than typical, WANTED kids, etc. ...and then when we got just two kids with emotional problems, ADHD, fetal alcohol, low IQ, etc. dropped on us (third kid was great) we ended up collapsing in < 6 months.

Imagine that you're not +4 SD, university educated, 47 yo, and highly motivated. Imagine you're 93 IQ, impulsive, 22 yo, don't want to be here ... and now you've got 50 kids, many of them with emotional problems...

I can't fathom how terrible it would be to be a child in an orphanage...and I think that many of the "adults" were likely children as well. Complete !@#$%-ing disaster, from start to finish. Appalling. ...and pretty much exactly what I'd expect given the incentives. :-/

ALSO! as with electric cars, which aren't really electric powered, but are coal-powered (but the smoke stack is located somewhere else), the evil that was done was partially done at the orphanage, but also done elsewhere and the externalities LANDED at the orphanage.

Every guy who screwed a barmaid and then disappeared, unconcerned if he'd created a child, every woman who ... blah blah blah. Sin and causality and complicity extend far beyond the brick walls. /exeunt
