Do you like children? Yes, or no?

[Roy]

I love kids and always did. I wanted to dedicate my life to helping kids since I was a kid myself. And I wanna have 4 and If I can, adopt too.

Are you not afraid that they would limit your freedom? Especially a couple of them.

No. I mean I'm not the type that likes to go out and party and stuff... The things I like doing such as going out to eat or to a theme park can be done with kids too.

I am not either a "party person", but I mean things like hiking, going wherever I want when I wish and can, moving somewhere else to work (also more difficult when your child is attending school, if it's not home-schooling). When I was very my parents would leave me in care of my grandparents for instance when they were to go for a couple of weeks to Spain for their holidays driving all the way from Poland back in the late 90s. So even if it sucked for me I can understand it. From such trips they would often bring me some toys that were impossible to find here so there was that to make it up for my longing for them. There have been changes though in how people approach it, there are blogs of people who are travellers, some of them who even managed to make out of it a living who do it with their kid / kids and they get along.

That's what I aspire to be lol a traveller with my whole family.

And well, my family always brought my brother and I along with them everywhere.

I love my child. I love other children too, but not all of them. It depends mostly on their upbringing.

I'd liked children before I had my own child too but I'd lacked a ton of information that I have now. The birth of my child was the biggest turning point of my life.

[MiloshN]

Yes, childrens are for me wealth.

[Kivan]

I do, even if they annoy me sometimes.

I was even working giving math lessons for some of them a time ago.

[Kazimiera]

I'm not a children person. Maybe it's because I don't know how to relate to them. I'm a single child of a single child of a single child and my exposure is very limited.

I don't have children.

I don't like babies much.
Toddlers are cute to look at but they are too busy.
Older kids I don't know how to relate to.

I don't like the smell of children. From the time they are toddlers until they reach puberty, kids have a very strange smell. And it's got nothing to do with the kid being washed or unwashed. They have a certain smell which I don't like. If I walk into a house I can smell if a child lives there. Some people think I'm crazy when I say this.

These are my children:

Blueboy and Pinkgirl. I’ve had them since I was a baby.

They are very obedient and respectful. They also make baby noises and like to rub against me.

Oooh I fucking love math at least in paper, very elegant and beautiful, but I'm a lazy bum and though I enjoy the concepts behind math I hate to calculate unless if it's something useful.

Nevertheless, mathematical concepts are the closest thing we have to Platonic forms and me being a doubles major in Philosophy and Education with a minor in Material Science (Our required majors in my Religious Order, the Augustinians who practically invented the science of genetics, not as smart as Jesuits though). I personally love Neoplatonism and the Gospel of Saint John is very very Platonic especially in his comparison of Christ as the Logos a very Greek Philosophical term for the Ordering Principle of the Universe.

What do you think of the Kalam Cosmological Argument? That there are actually no physical infinities but math is beautiful since it exists beyond the physical and you can actually measure and abstract infinities and infinitesimals in Calculus which frankly do not exist in the material plane (Actual infinities are impossible materially but are very real intellectually and spiritually). Mathematics made me fall in love with Theology.

I find the "Holy Cross" also quite useful in a lot of fields of knowledge...

I also find making the sign of the cross very metaphysically useful (in a logical scientific sense) since the Aristotelian Logic takes the form of a Cross.


THE LOGIC SQUARE






And the directions of a compass also mirrors the cross.



Also in Chinese Feng Shui the Bagua is also based off the Cross too.




Basically making the sign of the cross affirms one's commitment to the Logic Square, the Direction giving compass and the metaphysics of progressive Feng Shui principles.



BTW the Cross also forms a central position in Geometry too.



The Cross is the path to truth and annihilator of errors and lies as can be seen in Aristotolian Logic Squares...
The Cross is the guide for directions as seen in the Compass Cross...
The Cross brings balance to Yin and Yang as can be seen in Feng Shui's Bagua...
The Cross is the fulcrum of geometry and mathematics as can be seen in the X and Y Axis in a geometrical plane...

That's just the philosopho-scientific value of the cross, I'm not yet even talking of the spiritual value...

I genuinely love talking to Mathematicians since you belong to only one of two other College majors that actually outsmart us Philosophy majors...



I'd love to absorb some of your higher knowledge.
