Ideas are defined by their merit; people are defined by their actions. This description used to be even more pretentious, but I'm leaving that first line up there to shame myself. I'm too lazy to tag stuff, so keep that in mind before following me.

Fundamentally if someone looks out on the whole span of humanity today and complains that life is too convenient and easy I can't help but feel a real contempt? Even beyond the total selfish myopia, it's not like the world lacks for edifying struggles and productive challenges for someone with some free time and capital to take on. You're just terminally incurious and lazy and want to make it technology's fault.

It is I suppose helpful for future calibration to have empirical evidence that all the most hysterical liberal nightmares about what the 'anti-woke/DEI and pro-free speech and merit' people would do the literal second they got a hold of power turned out to be 100% entirely correct.

Anthropologists inspecting the Worm fandom in five hundred years: They structured their society into several social castes based on their religious hierarchy with their ruler class, Tinkers, at the top and the peasant class, Shakers, at the bottom. The adjective "Dallon" appeared to be some sort of negative signifier.

If God give you children love them with wisdom, correct them with affection; never strike in passion, and suit the correction to their age as well as fault. -William Penn (1644-1718), to his children.
Quaker beliefs (notably those of pacifism and autonomy) led to them adopting many good practices in child-raising that are finally being recognized around the world.
While I can't say my Quaker parents perfectly matched the things described here, I had Quaker friends whose parents did most of the things listed in the article, (supporting their strengths, offering collaboration over discipline, and of course communicating with questions instead of demands).
Of course, no religion can imbue perfection into its followers, and Quakers are still capable of causing harm, but it is nice to look at what Friends from 300 years ago were saying about child raising and seeing the same philosophy modern childcare experts have today.

/hj is the funniest earnest tonetag in the world even without the handjob joke because it's ostensibly meant to clarify tone for autistic people, but the tone it's clarifying is "unreadable level of ambiguous seriousness that requires social context beyond what text can convey /glhffgt"
