It is what it is. Different emotions on tuesday, different emotions on friday night.

Reasonably so, presumably the cave paintings showed the kiddies what to look for, hieroglyphs taught us much about the ancients, blueprints teach what to build, warning signs what to avoid, portraits what people wore, etc.

It's really not, less stimulation results in less cerebral activity which results in less cerebral thought and creative activity. It's why they show kids shows like Bill Nye and not long monochrome walls of text filled with jargon.

That's why the world should be ruled by adults. If the adult population doesn't think to its full potential bad things happen.

Really? Assume that I grew up naked in the woods and have just learned language by hearing it on a radio. Describe one of your shirts to me, without using a picture.

I hear you

So what?
