> Well, I grew up quick, and I grew up mean. And my fists got hard, and my wits got keen...

> He stood there looking at me, and I saw him smile, and he said, "Son, this world is rough, and if a man's gonna make it he's gotta be tough, and I know I wouldn't be there to help you along. So I give you that name, and I said goodbye. And I knew you'd have to get tough or die. And it's that name that helped make you strong..."

For everyone that grows stronger and wiser under adversity there is someone tha become weak and broken.

The approach of "you need to be prepared for the cruelty of the world so I will be cruel to you" feels like a parody of proper upbringing.

It was a Johnny Cash song -- he wasn't known for writing ballads of utopian suburbia.

“And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him Bill or George, anything but Sue! I still hate that name!”

So no, not endorsing.

Also cruelty doesn't translate to fitness anymore. It's just negative emotional investment. But it's signaling "if worst comes to worst my people come first" which is the loudest tribalism signal in a breaking down peace period society reentering the loop.

I asked my father

I said, "Father, change my name

The one I'm using now it's covered up

With fear and filth, and cowardice and shame"
