I am not great with writing. My preferred and more comfortable medium of communication
is talking.
I would never type this out for the Youtube comment section.
But, for Substack here it goes.
This episode was profound for me.
I watch these episodes with family. We talk during and after. Inevitably later on, other questions and thoughts are shared.
Today we (our family) had such a great talk. So many ideas, thoughts contradictions, reevaluations about how to listen, skills needed in real time to decipher how agendas are said to us and others.
My young ones will be out of the home soon. TODAY an epic transition of young to older (near adult) wisdom happened right in front of my eyes.
I will not go into the details. I want to just say, Thank you so very much.
To all of those associated with the content and production of these episodes you helped give me a gift as a father, that will NEVER be forgotten.
To both you and Gina, with a heartfelt shout out to Reid.
The SE vids and these NPR episodes have been a MAJOR catalyst of skills acquiring and practice for our family.
My teen kids anchored on the word and value of DISCERNMENT.
An unrepayable gift, listening to your child move from regurgitation to pause thoughtful reply.
I will not step back from the truth that watching with and conversing about the content, process,and individual conclusions in these videos. Helped them grow!!!
The discussion about gender-affirming care is timely and interesting. "Gender-affirming care" is a euphemism for promoting potentially harmful puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgery for pre-teens and teens, usually without any discussion of safer alternatives such as counseling or waiting until maturity. The latest issue of my "2026" Substack discusses how to translate slogans and euphemisms at 2026.substack.com.
Yet another great episode.
This one I will need to listen to again. Got caught up in conversation with other people that were watching it with me.
Thank you to all involved.
Thank you so much.
Hey Dylan, Thomas :) Thank you!

This means the world to me. It's why I am doing what I'm doing. Thank you.

I can't express how much that means to me!

Correct, though you may want to delete "potentially".
Is there any way to contact Peter directly?
