I sometimes think of myself as a genius. I hope I am not wrong. I think that it is definitely true that I am smart in spots as Tom Watson said of himself. The exact quote is below:
I am no genius. I am smart in spots. But I stay around these spots.
That is just incidental to the point I want to make here. I did a Bing Copilot search and the following was the result:
My question to Bing
If you deceive someone about something very basic it affects them intellectually. Am I correct?
Copilot’s answer:
Yes, you’re correct! Deception can indeed have intellectual consequences. When someone is misled or given false information, it can impact their understanding, decision-making, and overall cognitive processes. It’s essential to promote honesty and accuracy to foster intellectual growth and well-being. 🌟
I want to make the point in this blog that a false and misleading sex education affects the intellectual aptitude of our youngsters. Entire generations of the youth of the nation have been harmed psychologically as a result of that.
This has never been my problem. I have given myself all the knowledge about sex that I wanted to have. And I am now very smart (in spots).
I think it was Bertrand Russell who first informed me of this concept. I searched on Google and Bing and tried to locate the exact quote of Russell’s on this subject but was not able to do so. Take it from me – if you want your kids to be intellectually capable you should not deceive them about the basic facts of life.
What that means in practical terms I am not sure. I have never married or raised kids myself. But in addition to sending them to good schools try to teach them how to think, sound ethics and (this is very important) give them a sound sex education.
Sex is something very basic and if your kids are taught falsehoods then they are likely to get into trouble with the opposite sex. They will have to unlearn all that you have lied to them about and that is easier said than done. For more on this subject please visit the blog at the end of this article.
Speaking of myself – I never accepted the sex education and attitudes that society tried to instill in me. I paid the price for being unconventional, yes. But I also enjoyed the benefits. And now I am a genius (maybe).
So this is the main point that I wanted to make in this blog. Do read the article below. If your children are slow learners then you will find them particularly interesting and useful.
I would also like the authorities to make changes in the education system so that youngsters are made capable of dealing with the challenges of life. Right now so many of them are unfit for the struggle. A big reason for this is being deceived regarding the basic facts of life.
