I agree that there should be no age requirement for taking a
driving test, but driving prior to passing your test (at any
age) is not recommended. If we let one person drive without
passing a test, we would have to let everyone drive without
passing a test. Are you sure you want this?

Good point. I agree that passing a test should be required for
driving, just that there shouldn't be any age restriction to
take the test.

Is there a Vedic equivalent to virtue theory? Hindu parents
(like Muslim parents) seem to be less strict than "East Asian"
Confucian parents, but this could also be due to the latter's
inferior blood. But even this would indicate that Vedism did not
gain a hold in India as much as Confucianism did in China, hence
the lack of an ideological equivalent to virtue theory, but I
could be wrong. After all, I have seen many Indian parents
enthusiastically endorse child rearing and compulsory schooling.

> Now what people call yajña (sacrifice) is really brahmacharya,
for only by means of brahmacharya does the knower attain that

really brahmacharya, for only worshipping by means of
brahmacharya does one attain the Atman (the liberated Self).
Now, what people call the Sattrayana (sacrificial session) is
really brahmacharya, for only by means of brahmacharya does one
obtain one's salvation from Sat (Being). And what people call
the Mauna (vow of silence) is really brahmacharya for only
through brahmacharya does one understand the Atman and then
meditate. Now, what people call a Anasakayana (vow of fasting)
is really brahmacharya, for this Atman never perishes which one
attains by means of brahmacharya. And what people call the
Aranyayana (life of a hermit) is really brahmacharya, for the
world of Brahman belongs to those who by means of brahmacharya
attain the seas Ara and Nya in the world of Brahman. For them
there is freedom in all the worlds.

brahmacharya leads to the profit of virya
(वीर्य).[23] This Sanskrit word,
virya, has been variously translated as virility and, by Vyasa,
as strength and capacity. Vyasa explains that this virtue
promotes other good qualities.[23]

You are not being logical. From your link:
--- Quote ---
> After nine minutes, the children did four tests to tap their
"executive function" — such as attention, problem-solving and
delay of gratification — which allows people to set goals and
implement them. Executive function is important for helping
children to learn and function in school and be creative, the
researchers said.
>
> "Just nine minutes of viewing a fast-paced television cartoon
had immediate negative effects on four-year-olds’ executive
function," Angeline Lillard and Jennifer Peterson of the
psychology department at the University of Virginia concluded in
Monday's issue of the journal Pediatrics.
>
> "Parents should be aware that fast-paced television shows
could at least temporarily impair young children’s executive
function."
--- End Quote ---
High executive function is a Western educational objective. A
show that reduces executive function is therefore
de-Westernizing, not Westernizing. This is why it is Western
medics who are complaining about it!
I myself am not a fan of Spongebob, but I would not discourage
children who like it from watching it. If Spongebob leads to
less machinism, we should avoid attacking it at least until
machinism has ceased to be a threat.
Why not attack Western classical music instead?
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozart_effect
--- Quote ---
> The Mozart effect is the theory that listening to the music of
Mozart may temporarily boost scores on one portion of an IQ
test. Popular science versions of the theory make the claim that
"listening to Mozart makes you smarter" or that early childhood
exposure to classical music has a beneficial effect on mental
development.[1]

I was a victim of this as a child. (I'm guessing you weren't.)
--- Quote ---
> Zell Miller, governor of Georgia, announced that his proposed
state budget would include $105,000 a year to provide every
child born in Georgia with a tape or CD of classical music.
Miller stated "No one questions that listening to music at a
very early age affects the spatial-temporal reasoning that
underlies math and engineering and even chess." Miller played
legislators some of Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" on a tape recorder
and asked "Now, don't you feel smarter already?" Miller asked
Yoel Levi, music director of the Atlanta Symphony, to compile a
collection of classical pieces that should be included.
--- End Quote ---
Why do you think there is no equivalent of the above but with
Spongebob? Answer: because Western classical music aligns with
Western educational goals, whereas Spongebob does not. So which
is the Westernizing filth?

"I was a victim of this as a child. (I'm guessing you
weren't.)"
I remember going to Piano lessons as a kid, but I don't remember
being forced to. I liked playing the piano if I'm being honest,
even though I'm not a fan of classical music (I was mostly
taught songs like "Twinkle Twinkle" and "Mary had a Little Lamb"
(I would later use it to play video game BGMs). I felt
compulsory schooling to be more of something that was being
forced on me.
"I myself am not a fan of Spongebob, but I would not discourage
children who like it from watching it."
I was discouraged, but not prevented. I agree that high
cognitive function is a Western objective. But don't you agree
that poor delayed gratification leads to loss in attention span,
which cultivates "ADHD" type behavior that is antithetical to
Aryanism? But I agree that we should attack machinists more than
Spongebob fans.

For the record, I would not prohibit children (or adults, for
that matter) who spontaneously like Western classical music from
listening to it (to do so would be initiated violence). However,
those who spontaneously like Western classical music should
without a doubt be prohibited from reproducing sooner than those
who spontaneously dislike Western classical music.

I agree that ADHD is inferior:

Delayed gratification is a separate phenomenon. It is
emphatically not a trait we should worship in itself, as it
leads to future-oriented thinking, which at best reduces empathy
for victims in the present moment and at worst leads to
progressivism.
Childrearing is in itself a product of future-orientation by
parents/teachers who justify disregarding how children feel
right now in order to benefit the adults that will take over
their bodies in the future.
Non-Aryan farmers will tell you that the key to successful
farming is delayed gratification, and hence willingness to do
the work during the growing season motivated by the harvest
later in the year. I of course disagree. Successful farming
should proceed from empathy for the crops themselves in each
present moment, which alone already suffices to motivate the
Aryan farmer to tend them at least as diligently as the
non-Aryan farmer motivated by the harvest. As I keep having to
remind everyone, farmers are not necessarily Aryans! If
anything, it was the non-Aryans who (after learning farming from
us) corrupted subsistence farming into commercial farming (the
latter requiring more delayed gratification and at the same time
less empathy for the crops than the former).
(If you think about it, hunters also delay gratification when
they do not try to pursue prey as soon as they spot it, but wait
for the timing that will give them the best chances. Thus I
would contend that delayed gratification is a Gentile trait.)
While it is unfortunately a strategic necessity in the material
world for us to delay our gratification in order to defeat
enemies who are delaying theirs, if along the way we start
worshipping delayed gratification, then we have become what we
set out to defeat.

I see. A similar point could be made (as I have earlier)
regarding impulsivity.
