“Pongsak Sriboonpeng”

sending people to jail for this... insane
“sending people to jail for this... insane”
Before the age of seven children can’t think logically. They think magically. If dad dies, for example, it was their magical thinking that killed him.
I’ve seen this magical thinking in adults raised in poor countries. If you ask some African men how tall their son is they’ll hold their hand at a particular height but keep it perpendicular to the ground so as not to stunt their child’s growth. Talk at length to a “Palestinian” and your head will spin at their illogic. In a culture like this what people say can, the listener of the same culture thinks, affect the reality around them. Words that may negatively affect that reality must, therefore, be punished so others know not to say them.
