it can also be a 0.000001%
the exact number doesnt matter

gonna quote myself from skype:
"But a child has the potential to be a surgeon or a genius. While an average adult who lives shows that he doesn't have those abilities.
Of course the average child has a very small % to be such a great person. However the value of this small % is very very high, because one genius can change the world forever.
And as you grow you show your true self and this % to be a genius gets smaller and smaller, which makes your potential value smaller and smaller.
even 1% has a great value
and if we say that 0.1% is like idk 100000 value, then as you grow and you lose 0.1% potential to be a genius, your value drops a lot."

The chance of a kid of becoming a genius is the exact chance of an adult you care less about of being a genius. Cold logic fucks you up again. Choosing kid vs adult from a stat POV still makes the adult a better bet.
find the bold part^... if you think the bold part is wrong, tell me why, if you don't read my posts, don't respond

What if it gets higher and higher? The fuck
Dude when you gave a random number estimate for the kid's chance of becoming a genius, you based that on the incidence of geniuses in the world I assume. When you kill a random kid there is the same change that you killed a future genius, as the chance of you killing an adult genius when you kill a random adult. Anything that's not in agreement with this is NOT logic man.
You end up with hypothetical/potential genius vs real genius, the same dilemma we've been having from the start.
the average person wont become a genius, obviously.
and as someone develops you can see that he wont be a genius(on average)... and as you can see that it decreases his potential to be a genius. overtime. which decreases his potential value.
The chance to kill a future genius kid is higher then the chance to kill a future genius adult, if you kill one of these groups at random. Obviously. How are they the same, when the kid has more opportunities and a higher chance, because he has more time to develop, while an adult would have wasted his opportunities(on average, an adult is not a genius, so he must of wasted his opportunities to be one) and has less time for more opportunities?

The difference lies in how an adult can be objectively measured while a child can, at best, be subjectively measured when it comes to looking at it's future.
It's the difference between getting a loan and gambling your money away into a slot machine.
i agree, this makes the value much smaller, then if a child would always be 100% awesome.
But like i said, it takes one awesome person to change the world forever.

I don't get this. A kid has a higher potential (because we don't know how he'll turn out) but the average adult had that same potential once. Since a random kid is going to turn into an average adult, how can the chance to pick out a genius kid be higher than the chance to pick out a genius adult? It should be the same.

It takes one person, to make a change in the world of another, forever, whether it is awesome or not....is for the recipient to decide.

Back to the opening premise...and those that would prefer to ignore reality, in favor....of I haven't a fucking clue...
I don't argue with reality....
Next point....pedophiles can rarely rehabilitated ( 47% reoffense rate if not higher , those are the one that are caught ). They have the highest rate of recidivism. And they are the same group/ "people' arguing for lowering the age of consent laws.
