Speaking of children running the White House...

Just to be clear, I am trans age.

My real age is around 30, I look 15, my mental age is around 13, but I act like a baby.

The more points to a star, the more the center polygon approaches a circle. I like it.

Something I 'have thought about years back,

Is whether websites ought identify people's identity.

Though for me it is more about preventing AI.

Dead Internet theory - Wikipedia

Caring about people's age, I think is more a societal concern.

Though I can appreciate people wanting a minimum age, kids are sometimes a bit hyper, juvenile, I assume.

Frequently, more than sometimes maybe.

But that is a 'maybe, I don't even say probably.

. . . Lot of adults are juvenile,

Kids grow up eventually,

Some kids as mature enough to be part of online conversation.

. . . Though, arguably maybe they ought not be part of some adult conversations.

. . . . . . Seems more parents role to control child's internet access though.

If we 'knew someone was child, I assume we'd follow whatever DebateCraft rules said about people of X age on DebateCraft.

There's merit in your post. Age is really a poor descriptive, and I suspect the choice of 13 as a min age for DC was somewhat arbitrary, because my granddaughter just recently turned 14, and as a 10 year-old, I thought she was a very old soul; mature in ways that most children don't achieve. Still a kid in other ways, and that's okay. It all has to do, I'm sure, with the general inability of children to realize the legal complications of sub-late-teen children signing contracts, such as for loans, simply because their understanding of those legal complications are unknown to them, therefore unfair to them to expect such maturity.

Most public websites have restrictions on minors participating and have age limits for membership.

The more points to a star, the more the center polygon approaches a circle. I like it.

7 pointed star has 7 sides in center polygon.

Actually, to be more precise, star is created out of polygon, by extending lines in polygon to form a star.

You can draw a triangle, and draw point at each side to form a star.

tho the simplest star is star from one line, which forms star with 2 points when point is drawn on each side of line. this star is often seen in compass.

tho simplest polygon is a triangle. the most complex one is circle. Star formed from circle would look like this:

And this is a very holy magical symbol, because it is star formed from circle.

arguably maybe they ought not be part of some adult conversations.

I hold a somewhat different opinion. Kids can either learn from adults or from other kids, and I dont see how latter is any good. Its basically blind leading the blind. People who dont talk to kids much are only making kids dumber.

My view is that kids should be introduced to some concepts in stages as they get older.

Specifically I was probably thinking about sexual conversations between adults as being something kids don't need to be a part of.

Perhaps radical online discussions as well.

. . .

Adults are 'ideally seasoned enough to take knowledge with a grain of salt,

Humans are most malleable in their youth, I think.

. . . A child who grows up with violence and war for some 10 years,

Is less functional than an adult who spends some 10 years in violence and war.

Children are weaker, lack as much intelligence, perspective, power.

A more perfect circle star symbol is this:

What is missing are magical writings to be written on white empty space.

Ok, AI messed up on that last symbol. Bad AI!

My view is that kids should be introduced to some concepts in stages as they get older.

At no point in human history did people think that except today, and today, people indeed raise the most incapable kids.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coming_of_age

Ok, AI fixed the magical symbol now.

Good AI!

As I said, people today raise the most incapable kids. Protecting kids from truth is reason why people at age 18 are mostly just idiots. Keeping someone in bubble of misinformation and censorship is not good. Its not any good for citizens of North Korea, and its probably also not good for kids. I dont see why people think that something which would objectively harm every adult a lot is somehow good for kids.

In Harry Potter’s universe Magic does not conquer all.

Person who does magic must logically believe his magic conquers all, to believe the opposite would mean to believe his magic is weaker, and power of magic is commanded by belief. Your words and your thoughts create your reality.

Even Harry Potter did not believe Magic conquered all.

I wonder if the origin of your last illustrated star came from the ancient Egyptian character N5, as noted below"

The first [upper left] is that character, which represents our Sun, re, in Egyptian.

The middle with the short vertical stroke beneath is the the typical form the word 'sun' in Egyptian is written. Rarely is the N5 used alone.

The last is a variation, adding a character that, alone, represents "land," is the Egyptian's designation of generic "time."

I will admit that I did use that symbol before a lot. Its also similar symbol in astronomy, for Sun.

However, circle inside a circle logically represents the Sun, or the star made from circle. the first circle represents the star made from circle, the second bigger circle represents star's light spreading beyond the star, probably.

In astronomy, there is circle and dot, but I am sure circle inside a circle is more appropriate, because the dot does not represent star made from circle. It represents star made from dot.

Also, thanks for those symbols. I am not much familiar with Egyptian language. Middle symbol I like more than the other two.

Ankh symbol is also great, and I have used it with slight variation:

With the variation that inevitably happened in ancient Egypt with handwriting scribes, rather than chiseling in stone, your version of the ankh would be easily understood to represent that symbol, just as we see variation in handwriting of people today. Though the shape of letters differs, usually we can read what another has written, also I understand that cursive writing is unpopular today, and many kids cannot read it, It is only now making a comeback in school, and that, so far, very little. As you said, many kids entering college are illiterate in their own native tongue. Shameful.

It looks like a ceremonial dagger used for sacrifices.

Yes, but it is really a symbol of eternal life with the gods. For Egyptians of antiquity, at least. That's why some gods, and some pharaohs, are depicted holding it in hand, as if the condition is close at hand if not already a reality.

It looks like a ceremonial dagger used for sacrifices.

Sacrifices are truly pointless. they only harm whoever does them. Muslims are great example with their sacrifices which never helped them and their countries are all shitholes. What people dont understand about magic is that magic works through belief and personal offerings, not sacrifice of others.

Are you going to put all your equipment away and follow what you preach?
