And Jack's sophomoric exaggeration of the otherwise banal often echoes of chicken little.
If anything it highlights a need for better podcasts in this domain.
People telling it to children are trying to silence their kids. They’re not focused on improving transparency, or on systemic outcomes, they just want to regulate individuals. So they are in fact the selfsame bad authorities.
The target of blame in the story is not the chicken.
If you have an early warning device with a high false positive rate, you don’t avoid catastrophe by ignoring the warning.
If your only early warning device has a sufficiently high false positive rate, scrap it, or find another early warning device with a sufficiently different set of false positives and then require both of them to alert, before you pay attention.
BwCW is a little better in the abstract, but still inapt for this.
It's been awhile since I saw the film, but that's what I remember. Regardless, even taking my comment less literally and more like "it feels like a children's show" would still be an accurate take.
Only an asshole blames the chicken. You had a high sensitivity early warning device, and muted it because you couldn’t handle the false positive rate? That is not the fault of the device.
Slightly OT, but you might want to clarify that you are talking about a film rather than the classical story.
If you haven't had the pleasure of reading it, it might be worthwhile to check it out, the version I read as a child had a suprisingly morbid ending for a children's book.
Also, don’t go around tempering children; “seen but not heard” is dark ages, Victorian values nightmare fuel.
