@carolrmc not related to Protein or health…

“The Parents That Raise Their Kids Without ANY Rules”

was that in your recommendations? Sounds like chaos to me. Everything I’ve read says children need limits/boundaries & rules in order to understand and live in society. Children raised without any rules seems like a recipe for anarchy. 💭

I will skim through the video while doing my exercise this evening. 👍🏻

Watched the first 6 minutes. Couldn’t go on. Felt so sorry for the kids. Some people cannot get enough of this type of cringe content. Just scroll through the comment to see. It’s exactly what the show’s producers want and I’m sure it gets shared all over Facebook, the home of systematic dumbing down distraction.

I know that I didn’t have many rules as a child. But the few that I did have were valuable. I’m glad I learned to read, write and do mathematics. Those things have been useful to me in life so far.

Anyway, back to the topic of this thread: Protein. I found the lecture very interesting and will need to watch it again + take notes. 💭

@carolrmc on the topic of the video you shared and the one I linked to above: I don’t think that the “no rules” approach would have encouraged me to be a life-long-learner. I listened to the rest of the video while doing my house work. All of the parents in the “no rules” were clearly let-down by the British school system and have decided to “rebel” against it by taking their kids out. The grammar of the parents was very informative (poor). Not saying these “no rules” children aren’t learning, they clearly are. But they are only learning what their parents can teach/show them which is an incredibly narrow subset of the knowledge they could acquire in any school. They definitely aren’t learning any chemistry or other science for that matter. So unless they somehow spontaneously develop the curiosity & intrinsic motivation to learn beyond what they need in their day-to-day lives they will be confined to mediocrity. It’s the whole “blissful ignorance” thing a lot of people seem to be keen on. 🤷🏼‍♂️ I’m the exact opposite. I want to learn and know as much as possible. And I wish I had started learning sooner and focussed better on Maths+Science at a younger age. I was allowed to “slack off” in school. And it was a major waste of my potential. 😢 Not saying that I will be a “pushy parent” by any means. But I will be very aware of my child wasting time on pointless activities like watching TV or other mindless entertainment. The other day I saw a child who couldn’t have been more than 6 scrolling through TikTok on her mother’s phone … it was like a frenetic novelty search. It looked like an addict with withdrawals itching for a fix. She would look at something for less than 5 seconds and then immediately switch to the next post. It was systematically destroying her attention span. Scary.

anyway, again, back to the original topic of this thread: Understanding Protein; without any offence intended to anyone, I don’t think I would have learned enough Chemistry at home in a “no rules” environment to even begin to understand this lecture. If I had been allowed to skip the things I thought were “boring” as a teenager I would have learned very little indeed. Maybe I would have become a professional skateboarder or pursued another hobby. But then how many people are able to make anything of their “passion”? Maybe it’s different now with YouTube … but back then the chance of success were very low.

This is turning into a massive off-topic essay. Going to bed now.

will re-watch the Protein lecture again on the weekend.
