@SamHarrisOrg 1) Of course they take candy too seriously;2) You deal with trust as if we are behind a kind of a Turing Test. That's so silly -
@SamHarrisOrg Kids should learn the subtle ways we humans communicate. And that include jokes. And teases. And tricks. -
@lmldias There's no need to lie to teach kids that ppl sometimes lie. Like you don't punch to teach that ppl can be violent.@SamHarrisOrg -
@kjevol@SamHarrisOrg the world isn't binary. It does not divide between "TRUTH" and "LIE". Subtleness isn't taught if you only do the first -
@lmldias@kjevol@SamHarrisOrg So many ways to teach kids to understand subtlety in life, none req vid w/ mess your pain is entertainment -
@sbuehler@kjevol@SamHarrisOrg I agree that videotaping your kids crying as a form of entertainment is borderline evil. -
@lmldias@kjevol@SamHarrisOrg there are plenty of ways to teach nuance and emo reg in normal life. No need to manufacture cruel scenario.
