Do you see yourself as superior to children?

hmm, Microsoft recognizes this as a word but is giving me no synonyms. suspicious.

Not really. I find myself a bit envious though...

Naturally superior. And I must add that I hate most children.

No, I've actually seen antis saying that "as an adult, you are superior to every child you meet". I think this is more an anti idea. I do not feel superior. Maybe that's part of the problem? I feel like a cool 12 year old is better than me, and I wish I could be one.

Depends. Clearly, as an adult I have more life experience and am physically stronger than any prepubescent child. Generally though, I like to be a 'playmate' to children and interact on their level rather than ordering them around like a lot of adults do. I'd love to be able to take on the form of a nine year old boy, hurry up transhumanism!

Wiser and more life experience, yes. I don't understand some adults need to go around bossing the kids. They seem to think of them as stupid little employees. I think pedos like kids more in general, besides in any sexual way. We're more likely to treat them as real people. That could be why we're often well liked by kids.

I've had this fantasy as well. There are people that will go as far as changing their gender to meet their mental needs. You can bet there are pedos that would transform into a kid, if they could. I would at least seriously consider it.

Philosophically I see myself as no better or worse than any human in general, but on certain subjects I am superior in skills. But my skills in and of itself does not make me better as a human. So thats a no from me.

Kids have their kid wisdom which is Genuine and uncorrupt. Adults, as others have pointed out have experiences which provide insight. Children are by no means inferior but their brains are literally not fully developed. Kids can be lovable yet Whitney annoying creatures. My sense is that people with a pedophilia orientation do not see kids as inferior but are mor fascinated and drawn to childish innocence.

yeah, i made this thread when i was more on the whole pedo = abuser association kick. but begging the question has still caused people to reflect and explore different aspects of the/ir issue(s).

Correction: "there are people that will go as far as changing their sex to match their gender, which isn't a mental need, it's how they (and most of other people) perceive their identity". Anyway....

The idea of commanding children "do this!" and "do that!" brings a child to the point of seeing an adult as an enemy. When someone tries to just be close to a kid's mental level, and treats them better, now that's when a child sees that adult as a friendly and cool figure.
My friend says to her niece "shut up and go away!", but I always tell her not to treat the child that way because it's just too harsh. I'd rather listen to the child and when I have something more important to do or I get bored, I'd politely ask the child to stop.
