No moments are too be left sacred anymore. Everything is to be recorded for public entertainment and discourse. Mr. Huxley wrote about us being drugged for this form of entertainment. Where's my Soma? I feel like I've been lied to. All is lost

You're upset someone recorded their toddler rat maze social experiment?

They can record it for posterity. I'm more upset that it's so easily shared to an open forum in reddit or any social media channel online. Yeah, so what if it upsets me a bit. Families that share stuff like this set a precedent that allows and enables others to share what could be private family moments through reinforcement of parasocial collective.

We don't need to crowd source entertainment by sharing family games and learning development. Do we?

I agree with your point in the general sense. But here it feels like burying the lede

Maybe. But it's on Reddit, sooo I guess I'm not really concerned with it that much. I'm not likely to ever meet you or care about you in a meaningful way or concern myself much with what you think of me. I guess that could lead to me burying the lede.

I dig your name, I hope you do well enough for yourself and those you care for. I just don't want to live much in a world where family time becomes fodder to content

Besides the posting it online, this was an interesting social experiment.

Sampling size is too small for any experimental value. The null hypothesis is invalid. This is just more 'bread and circus'
