if only there was a Black mirror episode about the dangers of being an overbearing parent.
To be honest, Black mirror is not a prophecy. It merely is a speculation.
it is not a speculation nor a prophecy lol, it's stories exploring the human condition with technology as the driver of the story
It could not "explore". It's a fiction, it fantasizes.
Merriam-Webster definition for "explore" 1a:
This definition makes no distinction between factual and speculative, and in fact invites speculative use with the second point. Additionally, there's a long history of using the word "explore" in this exact type of situation.
Anyway, the point is, don't be such a wet blanket, plz.
I just don't think some fiction is reliable source of information.
And I can't see on definition sense you are implying. You're overstretching it.
it's unwise to take literary advice from someone that uses words without taking the time to learn their definition
Are you speaking of yourself? Read definition of "to explore", please.
