We’re having to raise ourselves. But I’m finding that doing the hard work, as hard as it is, is somewhat rewarding. If anyone’s interested in just how the last two hundred years have affected children and ultimately adults, here’s a great place to start:
Scouting. Sports. Reading. Healthy food. Puzzles and games. Riddles, jokes, stories and songs. Music. Cooking. Insulated from harmful content but not isolated. Properly attenuated challenges to foster and induce flow state. Leadership by example.
The "Boy Scouts" aren’t what you remember. Replace that with gaining and sharing life skills. Daily physical exercise. Shelter building. Fire starting. Water sourcing and filtration. Food gathering. Hunting. Food prep. Team building. And, most importantly, faith in God through Jesus Christ.
Yes I agree about the Scouts. I took my son here in Ireland last year and.... it is not what it used to be anymore 😞. They have even changed the oath to be more inclusive and removed 'God' from it.

A ground-breaking school program designed to provide a class of primary school students with the tools to identify racial bias and make positive change.
Wrong on so many levels. Only a true racist would assume that skin color or appearance gives someone an advantage. I’m surrounded by people of every race and color who succeed or fail purely on the basis of skill, knowledge and character. Trying to demonstrate otherwise by using false assumptions is wrong.
When you focus on color, skin, or appearance, you inherently become a racist. Meritocracy is what has brought the world to where it is today. Yes, elements of racism exist and will always exist—that's part of human nature. If we do not focus on skills, knowledge, and character (as Patriot Pilot wrote), we risk ending up with reverse racism, which is already happening. This is just the other side of the pendulum, and it's no different. It will only escalate things in the wrong direction.
100% agree! As a millennial, I’m seeing how my generation was raised weak and as a result, we’re having a hard time with life: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/how-millennials-were-setup-to-fail
