The real question is, how do you raise your kids so they don't turn into the next Pete Buttigieg?

    I love going a layer deeper over and over until I'm like "because a star exploded and deposited heavy elements into a massive disk, which slowly formed into planets.

        Gravity and time select for stable patterns in the configuration of matter.

            because unstable patterns break apart when met with random and wild phenomena. In a universe full of so much chaos, stable patterns are the only patterns that don't break apart.

            why?

            because their cohesion is stronger than the forces trying to break them apart

            why?

            these patterns build upon themselves and create a collection of energy that works together that is more than chaos can muster

            why?

            because chaotic energy isn't going to be cohesive and collect enough force to beat a stable pattern

            why?

            because if chaotic energy were so cohesive and structures, it would be a stable pattern and thus, not chaotic. Chaos, is by definition, an unstable pattern

            why?

            because it is an axiomatic definition of chaos

            why?

            because if we are to talk about this subject, we need definitions to work with

            why?

            because the amount of information being passed from me to you would be negligible unless we can use a common language

            why?

            because without common words, you wouldn't be able to understand anything I'm trying to say

            why?

            because information needs to be encoded before it can transfer from my brain to yours

            why?

            because only I am able to see into my internal consciousness

            why?

            because consciousness, as it is conventionally understood, is a solo venture

            why?

            because a star exploded and deposited heavy elements into a massive disk, which slowly formed into planets.
