I imagine it must be exhausting for children to experience their childhood for a perceived audience, learning to perform domesticity to strangers, waiting for a parent to set up the tripod, move to a different location, stand still as they brush your hair for the camera

To act like the process of science, learning and discovering and making connections, is something you can only do if you are given the title of “world’s top scientist and doctor” is not only smug and wrong, but dangerous, because it tells people they have no agency to learn and no power to figure things out especially when it affects the health of themselves and their family members. A true “scientist” will want to hear new information regardless of who it comes from and is humble enough to know that they themselves don’t have all the answers either.
