    To quote David Mitchell: "There are two types of children: timid and reckless. To save the lives of reckless children, warnings are calibrated for their mentality. The upshot of which is that timid children spend their lives in perpetual terror"

    What he says about being scared as a child and thinking that bad things are inevitable is extremely relatable to me. I'd hate any adult who would "accidentally" talk about some graphic child murder that was on the news because it made me paranoid to no end. I'm sure there are residues of that now in my adulthood-- I just have a billion other things taking up space in my head.

  • @diinalens
    @diinalens 5 років тому +5

    he really got a point tho, when I was little I was used to walk around my town (which is v small and not at all comparable to chicago, but still) all alone and my parents not only were fine with it but encouraged it, and it was pretty common for kids to be out unsupervised. I used to walk 1 km alone to school since 1st grade.
    nowadays children have to be accompanied to the school gate by an adult and teachers have to be there to make sure kids are being dropped off by someone instead of just turning up alone. and this makes kids less independent and also probably either terrified of going out alone or eager to go out on their own that they don't evaluate the risks. and mind you i was born in 1997.

Every kid on my block under 14 was scared, so we all played/hung out together to be safe, even if before there were cliques of kids who didn't like each other.

    Interesting. As if feeling like you weren't a child when you were one prevented the letting go of childhood fears... To feel overly responsible as a child without the brain development and social freedom to deal with that is a recipe for anxiety and irrational fears. And to believe that the real adults have power over you. All makes sense.

    Can we PLEASE please please talk about how John Mulaney is always so hot in black and white. (I mean he's always hot, but black and white really just does something for him)

    On the same vein as John re: Different Strokes, all 80’s show targeted to kids were PSAs. He’s absolutely correct about the shows about kidnapping. The other thing was kids getting braces, stuttering and getting their appendix removed. Shows in the 80’s were a mess.

    Same deal with the kidnap and murder! I slept with a pillow over my head from ages 8-14 because I was terrified of being murdered

    I'm sorry but i listen much actor or comedian have this problem, they are anxious, nervous, afraid.. It's not normal, people have to focus what is the sens of life.

    The endcard has the same energy as a PSA for the ASPCA. He could have lifted up a puppy instead of a link and it wouldn't have surprised me.
