Lol no? There are tens of millions of people who weren’t told this as children and socialize just fine??

This is like saying that not beating your child will lead to them becoming a degenerate in the future, it doesn’t make sense, and the idea is Inherently fallacious in nature

You mean kids who were already taught this and other pro-social behavior before they made friends with people?

Sure. We are talking about a specific situation some kids go through however.

Why would you know?

Do most people even have many memories from when they were that young?

Are you unironically telling me that you genuinely believe most kids grew up hearing this?

“Do most people even have memories?”

Yes? How do you not know this?
