Religion. Schools. Television. Not caring about people remote from you. Spending effort on trifles. Akrasia. Irrationality.
Some would say, having political beliefs different from mine.
Burial/cremation.
Loss of time to work. Loss of utility to unemployment.
The way children get so few civil rights they're used as excuses for removing rights from adults.
I am aware of the poor state of affairs re: children's rights, but I'm not sure what you're getting at by citing consequences for adults. Can you elaborate?
Just think how much legislation that restricts adults has been sold on the premise that it "protects children", especially from non-harmful things like porn and homosexuality.
Thanks for saying it
As far as schools, do you mean something about the specific way that we have schooling set up currently (and do you include universities in that?) or do you mean more generally?
I had in mind the education of children in school, as done in, I think, all of the developed world and a lot of the rest, and critiques like this one.
Universities may also have their faults, but not on the scale of misdeeds being considered, and, anyway, the people in them chose to go there.
Aaaah, okay. Yeah, I agree that that's a nasty aspect of our system.
