I recently had one of my sons question my belief that all people should have self determination. I was so shocked that it shook me. My family is built on diversity, non conformity and having a belief in the right to self determination. I don't know what happened. I could not steer him from this course as he was full of talking points clearly given to him from somewhere designed to reinforce the reality he has gotten sucked into. I spent so many years attempting to inculcate critical thinking, and the clearly smartest of my children has walked another path.

It makes me sad.

Oh that would damage me. All the years of work that go into keeping them open minded and forging critical thinking will pay dividends eventually though. I hope you're doing ok.

Edit: I'm trying to picture that happening in our house and what comes to mind is the other kids ripping the piss out of a position like that. We call our dinner table "The Forge" mostly for fun / slagging but also for challenging nonsense that might arise. We've a lot of kids though.

Siblings might be an avenue to explore is the crux of my point.
