Wikipedia page doesn't have that anymore. But the talk page shows that it did use to be on the page. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca_Hazelton

Maybe it's possible to find that edit before it was removed somewhere in the edit history

[-] SeekPie@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

Just checked, the page is being edited quite frequently. Many on the edits are about her lying.

A three year old would not have the ability to form that concept, let alone verbalize it.

Age two to five years old

Young children are interested in the idea of death, for example in birds, insects and animals. They can begin to use the word 'dead' and develop an awareness that this is different to being alive. However, children of this age do not understand abstract concepts like 'forever' and cannot grasp that death is permanent.

The quote doesn't say anything about forever tho. The kid is just figuring out that death happens to people and wolves, but not to words and books. The parent is the one pretending that the kid's making some profound statement about the permanence of ideas.

applies to words as well

Wait until she (or her son) learns about dead languages

This quote is from Albert Einstein. Look it up on Facebook

[-] RandomVideos@programming.dev 12 points 1 year ago

He said that when he was 3

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

And the child's name? Albert Einstein.

I will accept the assertion that her 3 year old son is smarter than her at face value.

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 year ago

Fun fact: written words only appear to last forever because people forgot the words that don't last forever.
Had that showerthought thought after a gummy and bout exploded my mind.

Aka survivour bias

The library of Alexandria begs to differ.

My headcanon is that a time traveler went back to save it and realized it was all furry porn or something and burned it down himself.

[-] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago

If this is true, fuck that time traveler.

Damn, too soon. Let's at least give it another 2065 years!

I met a toddler who probably only knows about 5 words today at work. He would continually say "Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi..." the entire time he saw me. granted I only saw him for about 5 minutes but little dude was about to explode with all his 'hi'-s
His dad looked so tired 😭

[-] blind3rdeye@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

I'm reminded of Crosscode. Something like Hi. Bye. How. Wait. Sorry.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

pretty sure that's where you just have to ignore them so they realize it's pointless to keep going, if you keep responding it continues being fun to repeat it

"ok dude, you have fun, let me know when you're done"

This knowledge isn't gonna forbid itself!

[-] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 year ago

Also, he is wrong.
The space outside the Noosphere is littered with the silently drifting corpses of words and whole language systems, dead and unchanging, forever cut off from being processed by any living mind.

You know whose name isn’t in blue? Jack McNevergetslaid.

Cut her some slack. She’s dumber than a 3 year old.
