... but that’s a lot of responsibility you have to assume.

If you think about it, it's not. It's the responsibility parents have assumed for millennia with their children.

The fact it is perceived as a lot of responsibility, tells you how much education, pharma, the system has undermined your (our) own confidence.

This is the very confidence 'they' want to undermine, to make the state/big brother/the system, the 'go to' option, and not your own thinking process..

nice post.
