        “Kids are dumb” is your conclusion? Eff off. Adults fall for the same tricks kids do. Else things would cost $7.00 instead of $6.99.

          Oh no! A potential monotonous job that lets me live a life of luxury 10,000x better than any of those animals if I wanted! Better equate it to a death trap… Not the reality of simply existing in the first place lol.

                  Correct, it being true makes it true.

                  If it wasn’t true you’d be falling all over yourself to point out the ‘successful’ communist nations.

                  But there aren’t any. China had to resort to capitalistic practices in order to save the nation. In 2022 Cuba was the number 161 economy in the world. Hardly a superpower and they still don’t have the standard of living we do.

      In my highschool psych class we actually went to an elementary school and did this experiment with the kiddos. It was a while ago but if I recall correctly, 9/10 times they thought tall = bigger. I bet some people never grow out of that mindset or at least at first glance our less smart brain goes “tall is big!”
