1/ We should massively front end our resources in the direction of childhood. 90% of the brain is developed before the age of five, and there is no power in nature that can compare to the power of the human brain.

2/ Capitalism has no use for children (except as a profit center) because they’re not old enough to work. That’s why imperatives of capitalism should not be our lodestar. Humanitarian not business principles should guide how govt functions. Children & the elderly first, not last.

Yeah okay. I’ll call your human brain and raise you an EF-5 tornado.

Check out what Social Venture Partners Portland is working on. They are all in (focused on early childhood initiatives) and just helped to get a statewide measure passed last year.

Do that by combating poverty.

Let's not forget that it is also imperative that we invest in programs and opportunities for people at all stages of life. Anytime someone is stuck in a job, a location, a situation where there life energy is being drained daily, we all lose as a society.

With Science proving the links between the immune system, the brain, communication, and not just for biological defense. Perhaps we shouldn't mandate child vaccination for this particular virus before this fall. Their developing immune systems DO need protection, not manipulation

Speaking as a profoundly abused child who is now a failure as an adult I say a rousing yes to this. I’m 44 and my life is trash because I can’t figure out my own operating system properly.

Disagreed, the human brain is a product of nature. Nature requires positive upkeep to some degree for societies to function. (Even large, industrialized societies, which might seem ironic yet is absolutely true.) We are dependent upon nature's bounty, or at least interdependent.

Ok, Anatomically 90% of the Brain may be developed before age 5 strictly on an Embryonic Development level, but that in no way explains the power of Human Thought and Experience and an exponential growth of Functional Cognitive capacity beyond that age. False Equivalence Fallacy

Agreed which means security for number one. So housing, reparations, land back, guaranteed employment for their parents, and places to go for free to keep kids active on every neighborhood which I don't think the US Is capable of doing

i don’t disagree that our recourses need to be going to children and our education system, but we weaklings compared to mother nature no doubt about it.
