These are great 😂😂😂 i love this segment

[@DustyJones1997BGCL]

I have always loved children and their innocence, curiosity, and pure joy. They are the future of the world, and I believe that we should do everything in our power to nurture and guide them towards a bright and promising future. As I prepare to become a parent in the next decade, I am filled with excitement and anticipation to have my own little ones to love and care for. I know they will have endless questions and I can't wait to be there to answer them to the best of my ability. Watching Stephen answer these children's questions with humor and warmth only reinforces my love for children and the joy they bring into our lives. This segment is a perfect example of the wonder and magic that children possess, and I am grateful to be a part of a world where they exist.

[@justadad6677]

We need to reform our educational system. It was made to create workers and not thinkers. Smaller classes, no grades, focus on finding children's passion and nuture community. Time to make the world for our children by giving them a voice.

[@sparkythancztwise]

I fear it's too late If we'd have done that on a large scale a long time ago, along with many other reforms (in education, health care, system, and others), maybe we'd have a chance, but the damage is too widespread and the traumatized, dumbed down, overburdened and disempowered are far too many . Kids now are looking around (if not utterly transfixed and consumed by their devices and apps and accompanying forces upon attention and psychology), to see evidence that the adults of the last few generations didn't know and/or care enough to manage the avoidance of the catastrophic cascade of events closing in upon us and spreading throughout the biosphere, events which are beyond our ability to accurately predict, let alone prevent.

he's catchin' up watching corrections - but *failed* to acknowledge a very clear error I pointed out weeks ago on his own show, and jackals love to correct our own errors as much as those of others so he's got some work ahead to earn his paw prints (mugs count, and investing in 1- 105, 106 count, but so do owning errors shown you by another!) - amusing joke he made though about if he only ever made any mistakes he could also do a thing like Seth's

Hey wait.. so is his favorite number actually one? Cause then that might mean that's the number he's thinking of in the Colbert Questionert.
