i don’t think anybody ( sane ) is arguing that.

but the problem splits up threefold:
1 – the child is educated to the best of the parents ability; may still fail despite their efforts
2 – the child is ignored by parents and left to the tender mercies of the public schooling, leaving them in a terrible position to deal with the world because of all the false things ( Feminism, fer instance ) that The System teaches them; almost certain to fail because they are evaluating the world from false Premises
3 – the child is maleducated by the parents up to and including rape and beatings ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0787XLK4H ); almost certain failure although may still succeed

the question is why you wouldn’t train your child to the best of your abilities? whilst still being wise enough to know that they ARE going to ignore you on occasion and fail just to see if they can get away with contradicting you.

Karen Straughan asserts that the purpose of Marriage is to attach Fathers to children for the purpose of protection and provisioning

which, while true, ignores the most valuable contribution of the Father to the household: his ability to rear his children in a non-solipsistic way. something which single mothers are almost entirely incapable of.

As you have demonstrated in your posts in this blog, you don’t just “think think think”: you acquire information, ponder it, which means weight it and compare it, attention to details, get more information if that still seems necessary, e.g. by trying things out, and make sound calls of judgement based on all that data and pondering. It’s not just “think think think”, it is hard work.
You do your damn engineer homework whether it is fixing crap IT infrastructure, your motorbike, buying a laser cutter, or choosing a shed on an industrial estate. Engineers don’t believe in shortcuts.

There is a theory that all this happened because of the transition between low pressure and high pressure steam engines: only the engineers who did their homework of careful getting information, pondering it, checking it, and making sound calls of judgement survived, the others did not survive their high pressure steam engines blowing up (and MANY of the early high pressure steam engines blew up).

One of the defining traits of real engineers that I met or hear about is that they tend to be worriers, yes a bit nerdy or autistic as you say, because many deal with stuff that really kills. Like the banks of high current batteries you mentioned some time ago, never mind high pressure steam engines, etc.; real engineers “respect” engines because they are scared of them, that’s why they value doing decisions based on data, pondered and re-pondered, and tested and retested.

In particular I have noticed that good engineers tend to worry even when “engines” work, but they don’t know why. the “muggles” tend to think “work-ish, I dunno why, but who cares as long it makes money”, but an engineer still worries that if they don’t got a handle on it it may still blow up in their face sooner or later, whether it is a high pressure steam engine or an economy drugged on high pressure debt.
