       @cy @freemo @olamundo Reading through the thoughts here, I think there is a large emotional component of parenting that's being ignored out of naivete. And it's not just that there are hormones and biological mechanisms that reprogram parents brain in the run-up to the birth (though there is that, and probably similar mechanisms that we don't know of).But ignoring that, as you alter your life for a newborn and then care for the child, your internal, life-narrative starts to define your self by that child. It's utterly unlike getting a hamster one day and similar but infinitely more than getting a dog. (But also, like not because the average response isn't the same as an individual response. So of course there are individuals who don't develop this attachment for various reasons.)

       @cy @freemo @olamundo > Can human beings that do/don't love each other romanticly, that do/don't have sex with each other, take care of another human being that may be or not be the offspring of said human beings?That's obviously true in countless variations. But it's also an abnormal situation by it's nature. Any particular arrangement after the average situation of parents raising their own children would itself be so minuscule of a statistic that it's broadly only worth talking about at a societal level under one category: orphans. And orphanages certainly exist that are staffed by individuals who would otherwise be strangers. Though no one seems to be advocating these situations as an ideal childhood.

       @cy @freemo @olamundo The pedo-angle never occurred to me as to why adoption systems are so strict. I just accepted it and didn't think on an understandable cause. Thank you :)

       @freemo Isn't needing processor power normally what causes a migration to say C from python? That said, I feel your pain. But I'm curious to understand why your wrestling with python on it's weaker fronts?
