Stuff like this drives home the fact that nobody has kids in their lives anymore. Being around children makes you a better person, you have to sand off your edges a bit, act a little nicer and a little less filthy. You HAVE to look outside yourself, have to be less self-centered.
Seeing open pornography everywhere just hammers it in, that the majority of people haven’t spoken to a kid since they left elementary school themselves. That detachment from what matters, that lack of any stake in the society-game, it makes every aspect of our culture palpably worse.
I’m not sure how many things would be solved just by people being around kids more, but it would make a lot of people on the better half of the moral spectrum better.
