  • Yes, the big majority of people from that time wouldn’t even grasp the concept of our technology today. So we really should be humble, open minded and cautious with scientific facts, since “facts” can change over the course of time or changing significantly (or can be seen in a new light from new discoveries).

    Also, we are not “just chemicals”, since chemicals are made of particles that on a very low level are just energy. So we can be matter but also energy - both statements are true. Which leads to that phenomena, that there can be multiple answers that are equally true.

  • I’d differentiate between “social status” and “authority”.

    Social status = social hierachy/worth inside a group, e.g. a class where you have “losers” and popular kids. Or inside a shop where sometimes employees serve people very differently regarding their appearance (Client with much money? Client looking poor?).

    Authority = rolls given by system/government/laws, e.g. Police that have authority over citizens

    The first is more invisible and vague, while the second is something that is tangible.

    Thats at least my take :D

    Also, your kid might already know these concepts, at least unconsciously. I’d try to teach them modesty and repaying kindness with kindness and not weighting the social status too much but also consider the personality. The most popular kids in class aren’t the kindest in most cases.
