My therapist made a comment about how China is a failed socialist experiment because they have 2-3 year olds working in factories. I responded “So we’ve been told.” She looks at me like I’m crazy. (Not a great look for a therapist) “I’ve not seen any evidence of that.”

“Because they’re such a closed country!”

“Which means you have no evidence to your point either?”

“Well, missionaries… anyway!”

    I can’t imagine 2-3 year olds being productive in any labour context.

    No fine motor control. Abysmal gross motor control. Limited reasoning skills. Object permenance skills.

    Someone with a psychology background should’ve rubbed their two braincells together on this issue and realize not to listen again to whoever told them this.

    The news seems credible, until they talk about your domain - and you see how little sense it makes. She doesn’t even care about how much sense it makes.
