I think part of being a parent is trying to kill your kids.

I think part of being a parent is trying to kill your kids.

Summary

This quote, though paradoxical, highlights the complexity of parenting. It suggests that in order for children to grow and develop into well-adjusted individuals, parents must sometimes challenge and push their limits. This can involve exposing them to difficult situations, setting rules and boundaries, and encouraging them to overcome obstacles. This "killing" metaphorically represents the hindrances that parents may intentionally impose on their children's comfort zones to spur personal growth. It underscores the idea that parenting requires striking a balance between protecting and guiding children while allowing them to learn and flourish through their own experiences.

Physical objects are conceptually imported into the situation as convenient intermediaries not by definition in terms of experience, but simply as irreducible posits comparable, epistemologically, to the gods of Homer . . . For my part I do, qua lay physicist, believe in physical objects and not in Homer's gods; and I consider it a scientific error to believe otherwise. But in point of epistemological footing, the physical objects and the gods differ only in degree and not in kind. Both sorts of entities enter our conceptions only as cultural posits.
