  • You are complaining this will cause kids to conceive of anthropology incorrectly and Im arguing the 9-12 year olds aren’t thinking that deeply on this. I read John Carter of Mars as a kid I seemed to be able to realize it was fake and you cannot live on Mars despite being a kid when I read this book. Most kids aren’t going to think this represents what real anthropologists do because they understand fiction.

    If you had regular contact with kids you wouldnt be overthinking this to this extent.


  • Im not your bro. You literally are complaining about a fiction book that most people read at the age of nine to twelve. It’s not having the impact that you think it does. You are worrying about nothing likely because you don’t have kids.

    I read a book at the same age that suggested we could live on Mars and there was a whole culture on the planet yet I don’t believe that either. Is that because at 9 I understood what fiction is?
