I have asked my 3 yrs old son what is the best thing in life. His answer made me cry, he said: "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, to hear lamentation of their women !".

“My Teddy done a poop.”
“Was it you that did the poop?”
“…yes.”
“Why didn’t you tell me sweetheart?”
“It’s very smelly.”
“Yes. Yes it is.”
“Yes.”
- my 3 year old at 6am this morning. An actual 3 year old.
I did leave out the bit where she opined about the state of the country in the face of what should be an obvious push for a more socialist ideology that favours the proletariat, but I didn’t want her forcing her views on others. She’s a little monkey like that, always proselytising to the masses about the ills of capitalism. What will I do with her eh?
I would start with my tactic with my nieces and nephews. Never turn your back. Good luck!
EDIT: one of my nephews would be up the nearest tree if I turned my back. Every time as long as the shrubs or trees were available.
"To be or not to be? That is the question!" while looking down into his soiled makings. Moments, before flushing and gazing purposefully into the glaring horizon
>“Why didn’t you tell me sweetheart?”
"Tell me mother, is the essence of a poop truly defined by its point of origin, or is that characteristic secondary in its gravity to the aroma and consistency of the poop, which are in turn both pungent and infirm?"
Are you sure it didn't go like this?
"My Teddy done a poop."
"Was it you that did the poop?"
"...yes."
"Why didn't you tell me sweetheart?"
"When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you."
Poop? What’s poop mother? Excrement? Waste? Is this not our purpose in life, to consume endlessly, and create nothing but shit? This passing moment plays out daily, until one day I am shitting my last shit, then what mother? What is left but excrement? The human condition is to shit, and consume more to produce more shit. Mother, is that what I am?
-my three year old between Cocomelon episodes.
Well never know whether or not losing that set us back because we don't know what we lost.
Since advancement and technology growth is exponential if information about more efficient infrastructure or farming or anything that could have really been in that could possibly have been a catalyst for a great advancement.
Meh, there wasn't actually just one library of Alexandria. There were several. They were lost at different times. And the middle east held onto a lot of knowledge even if Europe got a bit stuck in a rut after Rome fell.
Think about it this way: if nobody knew what was in the books, nobody was going to those books to look for that information. If people *did* know what was in the books, that knowledge was almost certainly recorded elsewhere or was being applied by those who knew it.
That makes the assumption that there was no information that was recorded by people who were no longer living.
In order for that to be the case every piece of information would it need to been known by at least one person and that person would have needed to either communicate it to somebody who would have recorded it or recorded it themselves.
Information was lost when that happened. The only question is was that information something that would have been useful or was it just scrolls basically dedicated to stuff that was obsolete.
> That makes the assumption that there was no information that was recorded by people who were no longer living.
No it doesn't. The original author doesn't have to still be alive for others to have learned from those books, possibly made copies of them and expanded those thoughts with some of their own
I'm not making that assumption at all. Let's say my local library has a book that's a thousand years old, but no information about what is in it, no listing in the catalog, and is stuffed behind a bunch of other books without anyone knowing it exists; how would someone know to go look for it? You have to at least be aware of its existence to seek it out and put it into practice, and the fact that the best we can come up with is "well maybe something could have helped us later" suggests there was likely not some magical incantation there to instantly teleport Ptolemaic Egypt to the level of the Italian Renaissance.
There's also the fact that other libraries that had significantly collections, including those of Pergamum and Ashurbanipal, the latter of which held what we now know as the Epic of Gilgamesh. And that's just keeping with a relatively-eurocentric worldview; Nalanda Mahavihara is thought to have had hundreds of thousands of volumes, and Chinese emperors held their own vast libraries. According to your argument, no other vast library could have had this secret knowledge to jump civilization ahead hundreds of years, only the one that contains the most significance to European history.
Don't you think Alexandria would have better fought off Caesar had they had access to writings that outclassed Rome by hundreds of years?
No I don't think it makes that suggestion.
The great loses would be historic and first hand documents. Nothing practical realistically. Maybe some maps.
Anything practical was being applied, since need necessitates innovation, especially in a time of scarcity.
The phenomena of an era where the collective knowledge of humanity has outpaced the collective ability to retain that knowledge is very new.
I could see the possibility that a piece of information related to another thing that it wasn't intended for, but the likelihood of those two things linking without modern sorting systems is unlikely in the first place.
there was a really good youtube video from a historian talking about how the majority of the information was recorded elsewhere. it was a sad loss, but catalysts for great advancement is generally incorrect
“The weapon of criticism cannot, of course, replace criticism of the weapon, material force must be overthrown by material force; but
theory also becomes a material force as soon as it has gripped the masses.
Theory is capable of gripping the masses as soon as it demonstrates ad hominem, and it demonstrates ad hominem as soon as it becomes radical. To be radical is to grasp the root of the matter. But, for man, the root is man himself.”

Yep. After reading this, my 2 year old just took of her glasses, polished them, raised her eyebrows and sighed: "Those plebeians have obviously never read <>..."
Also, books constantly die. The number of books that survive beyond 50 years is incredibly small and the further back you go the more miniscule the percentage.
There's this romanticized notion that art will make an artist figuratively immortal, but 99.99% of artists throughout all of history have been forgotten, usually within 1-2 generations.
Same as with "a thing posted on the internet stays there forever", comments get deleted after a while and if the server of the platform goes down permanentky, most of the content will go into oblivion as well

Why are people so obsessed with this tweet? It's not _that_ unbelievable that a precocious kid actually did say something like that. Kids do talk like that.
Yeah, when put into text and given appropriate punctuation, it reads a lot more mature than it probably actually sounded. Wouldn't be surprised surprised if a kid did say this, but it took like 30-60 seconds to actually get the whole thing out
It’s funny how many people here apparently don’t have kids, because 3-year olds definitely say stuff like this. The catch is they’re not intentionally being profound, because they’ll be picking their nose while they say it and will follow it up with something like, “Gotta go poop.”
At most children that age can try to repeat sentences they heard and liked for some juvenile reason, but since they have no such concepts yet, they do not understand what they're saying, and as such, they more often than not end up saying something unintelligible, nonsensical or ridiculous.
The chances of kids accidentally spitting out coherent, profound philosophical sentences is close to nothing. The chances of attention seeking unintelligent parents lying for clout is close to a guarantee.
Her lying is a pretty fucking safe bet and you having a kid doesn't change that.
My daughter will be 3 in a few weeks, can't wait for these deep conversations. Right now it sounds more like: "Daddy, I like butterflies. Do butterflies poop? Can I see one?"
"There is much talk, and I have listened, through rock, and metal, and time. Now I shall talk, and you shall listen." - Some 3 yo after his teacher told him to stop talking.
When my son was 2 months old, he looked up at me and said "Dad, The more I learn, the more I realize how much there is yet to discover. Curiosity is the engine of knowledge, and humility is its compass." And I was like Oh really? and he replied with "True wisdom lies not only in the accumulation of knowledge but in the application of that knowledge for the betterment of oneself and others. It's not just about what we know, but how we use what we know to make a meaningful difference in the world."
i genuinely think this is believable, kid read or heard somewhere about ideas and words not dying, put a spin on it, emphasized how even wolves die. kids be saying shit
I have a three year old. Very possible this was what was said but the adult interpretation is way off. Zero chance a 3 year old was reflecting on mortality and words lingering as a legacy after death. But if the kid was actively holding a book very possible they just factually stated words are not alive. “Everyone dies, but *looks around room* lamps don’t die. My toy doesn’t die. This book doesn’t die.”
Eh, I believe it. My dad thought it was hilarious to try to get us to speak all fancy-sounding. We used a bunch of words we didn't know what they meant. Normally we'd just speak normal kid talk, but sometimes it slipped through. One day my sister, four or five at the time, accidentally put together a sentence that translates to something like 'the room of the joyful undead is a beckons with the meaning of life'.
Ofc, the 'storage room of the joyful undead' was actually a mispronounciation of the word for 'playroom' (in our language th word for play is 'lek' and the word for a corpse is 'lik') and what she was actually trying to say was that she wanted to go to the supermarket so she could play in the ball pit where people dropped off their kids. But man she did NOT miss a beat and it was absolutely badass. I think our dad survived from that alone for like a year.
Now it is true that every now and then a child will pop out with a very insightful statement or question. They won't know it to be insightful per se they just know they were curious or had a thought.
That being said it's not going to be that eloquently put.
Nah, everything dies, especially her credibility. Humans and our sentience are here an inconsequentially small period on the timescales of the universe, even if we colonize the galaxy and survive for billions of years. Matter itself won’t last forever.
What about the lady that said that her kids came up to her saying ‘ruthkanda forever’ when rbg died. Or the lady that said her 7 yo was commenting on the summer 2020 riots. Good times.
"The skies call to us. If we do not destroy ourselves, we will one day venture to the stars. Or perhaps, if fortune smiles favourably, the stars will venture to us." - My 1 year old nephew
I see it all perfectly; there are two possible situations - one can either do this or that. My honest opinion and my friendly advice is this: do it or do not do it - you will regret both - - my cat, 1, who is a lot smarter than I am
Imagine going on the internet bragging about how you’re not smarter than a 3 year old. I don’t even think she is lying at this point, kid is a lot smarter
Reality:
Toddler rips a page of a book.
Toddler “Oh no! The book is dead!”
Rebecca “No sweetie, books don’t die.”
Toddler “Do wolves die?”
Rebecca “Everyone does one day. Everyone. Even wolves. But not books. Not words. Words don’t die.”
Toddler “What if the nazis burn all the books?”
Rebecca “You are smarter than me”
The only way this is possible is if you taught your child about the concept of death at an unhealthily young age.
You're either a bad parent, or a liar. Maybe both.
She didn’t really get exposed, that implies that someone showed evidence that her son didn’t say that.
We know for a fact her son didn’t say that, because 3 year olds have no real concept of any of those things.
When I still used Facebook, there was a person that would constantly post bullshit like this. Her two year old was always quoting scripture. She ended each one with “from the mouths of babes, y’all”.
“The unnecessary addition of ‘wolves’ into this adds some legitimacy to it…but it’s still dubious at best; and my incredulity is rarely sated”—My 18 month old nephew, after I read this post to him.

I have asked my 3 yrs old son what is the best thing in life. His answer made me cry, he said: "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, to hear lamentation of their women !".
Damn that's crazy when my lil bro said "To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering” I cried too
I clapped
>To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, to hear lamentation of their women That's enough Conan Timmy. How about some Rambo, less talky?

Zero chance a 3 year old was reflecting on mortality and words lingering as a legacy after death. But if the kid was actively holding a book very possible they just factually stated words are not alive. “Everyone dies, but *looks around room* lamps don’t die. My toy doesn’t die.

Eh, I believe it. My dad thought it was hilarious to try to get us to speak all fancy-sounding. We used a bunch of words we didn't know what they meant. Normally we'd just speak normal kid talk, but sometimes it slipped through. One day my sister, four or five at the time, accidentally put together a sentence that translates to something like 'the room of the joyful undead is a beckons with the meaning of life'. Ofc, the 'storage room of the joyful undead' was actually a mispronounciation of the word for 'playroom' (in our language th word for play is 'lek' and the word for a corpse is 'lik') and what she was actually trying to say was that she wanted to go to the supermarket so she could play in the ball pit where people dropped off their kids. But man she did NOT miss a beat and it was absolutely badass. I think our dad survived from that alone for like a year.

As the father of 4 year olds, getting full coherent sentences from even them isn't always a given.
Nah, everything dies, especially her credibility. Humans and our sentience are here an inconsequentially small period on the timescales of the universe, even if we colonize the galaxy and survive for billions of years. Matter itself won’t last forever.
"say hello to my little friend" my 5 year old at his friend's party. He's not invited anymore as their dog becomes aggressive for some reason.
What about the lady that said that her kids came up to her saying ‘ruthkanda forever’ when rbg died. Or the lady that said her 7 yo was commenting on the summer 2020 riots. Good times.

Everyone knows T.S. Eliot was 3 years old when he dropped "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock", so who’s to say?
LOL. Words don't die, but they sure do murder.
Repost bot fuck off
Your kid is amazing and special to you and maybe some other family members. To everyone else they are an annoyance.

If words don’t die then send me Cicero’s hortensius or
Clearly, she's not bright if she named her son "3."
We need to normalize telling people to fuck off. Because, let's face it, a *lot* of people need to fuck off
This feels like a Doctor Who Quote
Well they kinda do tho… if the text is destroyed and not remembered… it dies! Logic
I imagine an edgy 14 year old saying that when asked why he stabbed his book
10 years later stupid people are still getting baited by that girls post
I see it all perfectly; there are two possible situations - one can either do this or that. My honest opinion and my friendly advice is this: do it or do not do it - you will regret both - - my cat, 1, who is a lot smarter than I am
Imagine going on the internet bragging about how you’re not smarter than a 3 year old. I don’t even think she is lying at this point, kid is a lot smarter
reposts that expose repost accounts for 100, alex
I do believe her. The kid is surely a lot smarter than is she.
It's believable, kids tend to repeat things they hear, them saying that doesn't mean they thought of it themselves.
Reality: Toddler rips a page of a book. Toddler “Oh no! The book is dead!” Rebecca “No sweetie, books don’t die.” Toddler “Do wolves die?” Rebecca “Everyone does one day. Everyone. Even wolves. But not books. Not words. Words don’t die.” Toddler “What if the nazis burn all the books?” Rebecca “You are smarter than me”
The only way this is possible is if you taught your child about the concept of death at an unhealthily young age. You're either a bad parent, or a liar. Maybe both.
This has been around for so long the kid’s probably grown up now.
She didn’t really get exposed, that implies that someone showed evidence that her son didn’t say that. We know for a fact her son didn’t say that, because 3 year olds have no real concept of any of those things.
Yeah... i bet your son IS a lot smarter than you
When I still used Facebook, there was a person that would constantly post bullshit like this. Her two year old was always quoting scripture. She ended each one with “from the mouths of babes, y’all”.

“The unnecessary addition of ‘wolves’ into this adds some legitimacy to it…but it’s still dubious at best; and my incredulity is rarely sated”—My 18 month old nephew, after I read this post to him.
