   @nerthos @gameragodzilla Most people let their emotions decide for them rather than their rational thoughts.  It often doesn't end well when they do.

   @nerthos It's a pet peeve of my own to end up tagged in a conversation that I haven't participated in for an appreciable amount of time so I try not to do it to others. In psychology and psychiatry, we are strongly cautioned against prescribing any drugs until the age of 12-14 because the way they are absorbed and change body chemistry can be greatly different to ho…

   @gameragodzilla It's very much the latter, and that's the part that is apparently something that makes you some sort of persona non grata for mentioning.  A child is not the person making the decisions at that point.  It is the parent or guardian, they are the responsible person, and they are the one that would make the decision to transition their child, or push t…

   @gameragodzilla I certainly wouldn't say I was.  I tend to be of the belief that we don't have solid feelings one way or another until we're around the early teens (some people may be later, others, earlier, of course), which is something that thinks like Erikson's model back up.

   @nerthos And more seriously sorry for keeping you tagged in that.  Usually I'm more consciencious about tagging out people whom have not said anything in the conversation for a while.

   @loki @kkebreau Well, what I posted were the names of scholars to look up, not precisely links to the studies or academic works.  Unfortunately, we live in a world where academic knowledge is hoarded, and we have to pay large fees to gain access to repositories of academic knowledge.
   
   However, a good starting point is the Wikipedia article here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erikson%27s_stages_of_psychosocial_development

   @sim The world impoverishes itself with political and military endeavours that go nowheres, but they make us feel good.  I feel that we as a people or species or whatever the proper collective noun is these days have grown to be so needful of our catharsis that we are losing our ability to skeptically question others or ourselves.  We speak of "safe spaces" in enth…

    @sklaing @nerthos @loki I thought you were walking away from the conversation?  Or did you need further self-validation of your own righteousness?

    @sim I am put in mind of one of my professors in University, who I wish I could remember the name of, because this quote has persisted in my mind for the many years since I graduated:
    
    "Maturity isn't 'finding who we are'.  It is the process of removing from ourselves, what we are not."

    We speak a language of outrage, indignance, and exclusion, and then find incredulity and frustration at why we are not validated and included.

    My deeply-loving relationship with my wife @katiekats, to use a perhaps predictable and personal example, does not endure because it is certain. Every day we deal with uncertainty, in fact, as we face deteriorating physical condition that leaves us with sometimes precious few moments and minutes together. We do not find that relationship because we are in complete ac…

    @sim @mangeurdenuage The world does not always conform to the way we desire things to be.  Sometimes this is a social thing, and we can affect the change we wish to see.  But things like biology, chemisty, the stuff of stars from which we are forged, are not so easily mutable as we want to believe.  We want to salvage some feeling of importance, some feeling that …

    I can and have been wrong about a great many things in my life.  Every single one of us is wrong about a great many things, on a daily basis even.  As too we are also correct about a great many things on a similar scale.  We are always learning and adapting to the knowledge we encounter, if we are healthy.  If we are not able to challenge our own closely-held bel…

    "I worry that, especially as the Millennium edges nearer, pseudo-science and superstition will seem year by year more tempting, the siren song of unreason more sonorous and attractive. Where have we heard it before? Whenever our ethnic or national prejudices are aroused, in times of scarcity, during challenges to national self-esteem or nerve, when we agonize about o…
