a beautiful essay on what we've done to kids and how it violates the natural order of things. Don't agree with everything in the article but I found it touching. Was censored by Medium, so now on substack. The espola/husker crowd will no doubt hate it because it counters the kids should just suck it up argument and points out their own selfishness.
Children’s value — which was once predicated on their role as the literal future of humanity— has been perverted, now centering on their utility as shields for the elderly.
