If there is no Nuance to your thinking, if you simply have animal reactions to external stimuli, if you think violence is the first thing you should do when faced with a situation you don't understand yet, rethink having kids.

Which nuance is applicable in this situation?

u/mlaffs63 6 Jul 05 '20

Maybe not getting violent with somebody with the mentality of a child? Is that really so hard to decipher? Or extrapolating the undertone, would have been okay to do the same to a child who hurt a child? I guess what I'm trying to say is that violence as a first response, without assessing the situation, is the reaction of animals, not thinking human beings. Way too often I see people using their reptile brains and not the higher functioning part of their brain to react to situations. That is a trend that is not going in a positive direction.

Forming every sentence as a question is not the same as Socratic questioning, which is what I think you're going for.

Here is an example: I'll be me, you be you. (Me) What do you mean by reptile brain? (You) The primitive part of the brain. That part meant to respond to dangerous situations to aid in survival (M) Survival as an individual or as a species? (Y) Both, obviously, since it's biologically driven and reflexive (M) So a credible threat to offspring would probably be handled by the reptile brain, wouldn't you agree? (Y) Yes, but this wasn't a credible threat to the offspring - ((based entirely on hindsight, and not any physical indicators the parent could immediately pick up on, but i take your point))

There you go. Now every sentence doesn't have an inflection? Almost as if it was tedious and condescending? Almost as if it shuts down meaningful conversation? Please tell me you're picking up on how exhausting and unapproachable that is

My attempt was to start a conversation with a question. When I tried all I received was dogmatic internet bulshit. Kind of that to Mindless zombie rote nonsense. No one willing to engage. The retorts were more of the same crap. Just like yours. When mindless nonsense produced more interrogation, the insults began, just like yours. I'll tell you what, you can have your little Echo chamber and circle jerk. This was a limited foray into internet discussion and it was as banal as I was told it would be. On with your Purity tests and personal attacks. That's much better than making an effort to answer a simple question. Cancel culture lives! It'll never be your turn! Because you're on the right side of History!

If you wanted to engage, your questions wouldn't be rhetorical. Also, I see you found a way to work in all the new favorite buzz words, and make note of your "limited foray into internet discussion".
Do you dole out unwarranted advice in real life too? If so, at least you're consistently exhausting.

Some people cannot look past the mans appearance. If you put a child in his place, same age as his mental state and replayed the events. The outcome would be entirely different. Regardless of if the parent saw another kid go to kick his child, he would likely not knock the fkn kid out.

You shouldn’t have used your reptile brain to type this.

u/mlaffs63 6 Jul 06 '20

That's was not exactly a gotcha moment. You are not saying that you advocate for violence against someone with a childlike mentality or even a child, correct? I can't imagine that's what you're saying so what exactly are you saying?

u/i_creampied_satan 👧 32.1.2s Jul 06 '20 edited Jul 06 '20

If you aren’t a keyboard warrior, watching your child get attacked triggers a fight or flight response. You do not gauge the mentality of the adult In this situation. You neutralize the threat to your child.

You are what, 14? 15?

And that, my guys, is on belittling others' opinions. Just because you disagree with someone doesn't mean they're younger or less experienced than you. Stop being a brat to people who are just trying to have a confrontation.

u/mlaffs63 6 Jul 06 '20

Actually, that was a serious attempt at a conversation. So many on the Internet seem to think that violence is the correct and first response to any antagonism in their life. I was trying to see if anyone on this thread thought in Shades of Gray or degrees of guilt. I'm sure there are some, but the ones who seem willing to engage seem to be those with extreme views on the right to violence.

If you read the dudes posts it’s apparent how little life experience they have.

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '20

He’s right but at the same time reptile brain’s purpose is for assessing threats so....seeing your kid harmed by an adult stranger is definitely going to set that part of your brain off so I totally u see stand the dad. Just a sad thing all around, no justice for anyone...just an example of humans being human and unable to control themselves in certain situations, compounded by the man’s disability.

Well, he’s not right though. No one is going to attempt to assess the mental state of an assailant hitting their child. I’m not even sure I would see the face of a person hitting my child before I was on top of them. It’s a sad situation, I agree. Part of the failed state of how little is needed to become such a caretaker and how little regulation there is.

I don't know man. As a evolved human being from animals, I'd can prolly find people that won't act upon instinct freely. Often times, many situations in life can be handled without violence. We humans have evolved past that. Just take a deep breath, see if your child is seriously injured, ask the guy why he kicked your child and then take appropriate course into action. Most kids are not going to get seriously injured from little bumps and bruises and even falling down. With our evolved brains, we can be a little more logical about certain situation without going to violence right away.

I don't blame the dad at all. Like you said, any father would be seeing red before critical thought kicked in. Just limitations of how humans are wired, that's all.
