Interesting, but your lapsus may be worth noting:
if you show your good reasons then they will find themselves under «the authority of others»,
whereas if you don't they will find themselves «subject to» the power of others.
Opportunity and effects may vary.
That’s a good point.
That said, this is exactly the conversations my wife and I have with our kids. In life, there are times when you voluntarily place yourself under someone’s authority. There are other times when you’re subject to their power, the source of which is irrelevant is it is outside your control.
We’re unschooling anarchists, so our conversations are a bit wild at times :).
OTOH, my 16- and 11-year-olds just learned the word “lapsus” :P
> We’re unschooling anarchists
I thought you're supposed to grow out of this phase before you have kids.
I’ll let you know if my 16-year-old does. She’s enrolled in college for the fall.
No, that's literally propaganda from people who want you not to grow out of being passive sheep for capitalism.
