Yes, kids have the ability to understand a lot more than we give them credit for, don't they? I walked into a class of 8th graders at a school last week and explained to them the concept of First Person Indeterminacy and they all understood from it that there is a very strong indeterminism at the heart of reality which is usually decribed as deterministic. Amazing; 8th graders (and Plotinus) can understand it, yet you can't. Actually, I believe you do understand it, but you just don't like it.
