This Alison Gopnik Ted talk on how babies think is great. Her book The Philosophical Baby, has been on my to-read pile for too long. Gotta move it up the queue.

I’m down YouTube bunny trail of how babies think. Patricia Kuhn on language acquisition. Babies are apparently “celestially open” global citizens in sound statistics terms until 6-8 months. Trumpie ethnonationalism is just adulthood. ted.com/talks/patricia

Now watching. Laura Schulz, on logical reasoning in babies. I’m now wondering if baby cognition research is almost entirely done by women. Makes sense 🤔

Weird conclusion from baby brain TED bunnytrail: the comparisons of Trump to a baby are accurate. He learns like a baby. The people who follow him though, show the most adult locked-on patterns.
“And a little child shall lead them” huh?
Trump = lifelong protected neoteny
