Still don't know

[robcornelius@climatejustice.social]

@Natasha_Jay I think you know what's going on when you are a little kid. Generally your life is simple when you are young. Then things get more and more complicated as you get older and before you know it you don't really understand anything.

@Natasha_Jay I'm hitting a mature age and I know what's going on. I don't like it though.

It's a subtle shift that happens while you're not looking. You go from being too young to know what's going on to too old to know what's going on. There is no happy middle ground.

@Natasha_Jay You need to be able to read well. Probably teenager. That's when it's possible - but whether it happens really depends on what you decide to read.

@mhhwhitney
There's a brief moment you realise you never actually understood it. Then everything after confirms that hypothesis that you never actually understood (or the other option, you spiral down conspiracy theories)

@Natasha_Jay Dear Calvin, I'm 68 and I still don't know.

@irina
I think it was the progressive realisation of how slanted much of the MSM is and always has been. And then you relook at things and ... yes ‍️ (57)

@Natasha_Jay yeah, at one point his dad said, "I don't think I've had been in such a rush to reach adulthood if I'd realized the whole thing was ad-libbed..."

@Natasha_Jay 36, wait, 42, no, 51

[zenheathen@beige.party]

@Natasha_Jay At least a few years past dead, at a minimum.

@Natasha_Jay
For me, it was 75.

@Natasha_Jay A line in a bbc radio play in the mid 80s has always stuck with me:
"It's difficult to know everything"

[alysondecker@mstdn.social]

@Natasha_Jay @interfluidity Dead.

[cpsask@techhub.social]

@Natasha_Jay I know it is more than 60

@Natasha_Jay

What to tell my child?

[killerqueenlena@transfem.social]

@Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt 42

[crazyeddie@mastodon.social]

@Natasha_Jay You know more than most adults, kid. Try not to forget like everyone else does.

@Natasha_Jay

I know what's going on and I don't like it one bit.

Neither did Bill Watterson, apparently.
