Jordan Peterson drops a truth most modern families don’t want to hear:
“Daycare under three — especially in the first year — is really not advisable. There isn’t any form of care that can replace a mother’s care in those early years.”
He calls it “quite remarkable” that we’ve engineered a world where staying home with young children has become a luxury for most families — “as if by design.”
Decades of research (still largely unchanged) shows the critical attachment window in the first 3 years is uniquely supported by consistent, responsive maternal care. Disruptions here correlate with measurable increases in stress reactivity, behavioral issues, and later emotional difficulties.
The question we’re afraid to ask: Have we made motherhood incompatible with economic survival on purpose?
Parents (especially moms of young kids): Do you feel this pressure — that staying home feels like a luxury you can’t afford?
Or have you seen the difference in your own children between early daycare vs. being home those first years?

Absolute bombshell. Data reveals someone made a massive 580 MILLION dollar trade on oil exactly 15 minutes BEFORE Donald Trump posted his tweet about pausing the Iran war. Someone on the inside just made a life changing fortune. The corruption is blatant.
Jimmy Carr just dropped a radical rethink of taxes, education, and national wealth:
- No tax for anyone under 30 → let young people keep every penny they earn and actually start their lives.
- University should be free… but only for STEM fields that grow society (not a luxury item for 50% of kids).
- Over 60? No tax either — stop pretending we can pay endless pensions with fewer young workers.
- Sovereign wealth fund from UK oil, gas, wind farms, and mobile masts — assets that should belong to everyone, not just the Crown.
On AI and the future:
We need flexibility of thought. Old ideologies won’t cut it when everything changes.
Why does everything have to come from taxing workers? Why not undercut Ireland on corporation tax, mine Bitcoin with idle power stations, or treat national resources as shared wealth?
Do you think no-tax zones for the young and old + free STEM education could actually work?
Or is this too radical for a country stuck in old thinking?

So not only has Iran brazenly lied about its ballistic missile range capacity, but this means it can probably hit the UK with them - and we have zero, I repeat ZERO, defence against these missiles. Very worrying.
'A wealth tax needs to be a day one priority'
Zack Polanski says the Green Party would introduce a 1% tax on wealth over £10 million if they were elected
'It would send a very clear message that those who have accumulated the most money will pay a little bit more'
Exclusive new research for ITV News has found that 73% of graduates say their student loan debt is bigger now than it was when they left university. The survey of more than 2,000 students also showed that one in 10 said their loan had gone up by £40K or more since they graduated.
UK paternity leave is a disgrace. Just two weeks off before going back to work, missing the early stages of your child’s life and, in heterosexual relationships, putting all childcare responsibilities on the mother, who’s recovering from an intense physical event.
I don’t know that Bibi is dead but it is very evident there is real panic at the White House and this war is not going as planned.
And with the way Trump casually lied about bombing the school girls, it’s hard to trust anything coming from this admin.
