Sat Aug 29 15:36:23 UTC 2015 <diana_coman> lolz, I guess if I am, then I will, won't I?
Sat Aug 29 15:35:58 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> diana_coman so are you making another ?
Sat Aug 29 15:33:15 UTC 2015 <diana_coman> pretty much, yes
Sat Aug 29 15:31:51 UTC 2015 <diana_coman> but that doesn't mean that you *have* to speak gibberish to them
Sat Aug 29 15:31:38 UTC 2015 <diana_coman> sure, they will be equally delighted with someone speaking gibberish to them
Sat Aug 29 15:31:15 UTC 2015 <diana_coman> yes, but more than that, they are actually curious (as far as I can tell and not only based on mine) and enjoy something new - they don't care about the level really, so it's more a matter of what the other people can "feed" them really
Sat Aug 29 15:29:28 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> diana_coman again, matter of internalised expectations.
Sat Aug 29 15:28:43 UTC 2015 <diana_coman> fwiw children actually enjoy even graph theory (if explained on train track sets) so no, it's not as if one has to really dumb down necessarily just for being with them

Sat Aug 29 15:25:03 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> diana_coman which is how camp inmates ended up teaching linguistics lmao
Sat Aug 29 15:24:59 UTC 2015 <diana_coman> there is a big shock in the first year for sure
Sat Aug 29 15:24:27 UTC 2015 <diana_coman> and no, I don't spend my whole day in a room with small children (and even when I do play with the lo, I find myself quickly ending up basically explaining graph theory on his train set/track or something other - not out of some idea that it will make him a genius, but out of boredom, yes)
Sat Aug 29 15:23:17 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> diana_coman i bet you it's primarly driven by internalised expectations.
Sat Aug 29 15:23:09 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> diana_coman: iirc chetty said something similar
Sat Aug 29 15:22:55 UTC 2015 <diana_coman> asciilifeform> don't discount the iq hit apparently imposed by spawning <- interesting theory, as a mother of a 3yo I can say that the only way I can see that work is mainly due perhaps to sleep deprivation
