Reichians, disciples of Mr. Spock and the Summerhill school, etc. have called attention, with some impatience, to the brutality and stupidity of many of our traditional child-rearing methods.These methods are "brutal" and "stupid" only if, like the above-mentioned heretics, one regards the goal of child-rearing as the production of a sane, balanced, creative [NOT CRATED] human being. THIS HAS NEVER BEEN THE GOAL OF ANY SOCIETY IN THE REAL WORLD. The traditional child-rearing methods are quite logical, pragmatic and sound in fulfilling the real purpose of society, which is not to create an ideal person, but to create [CRATE] a semi-robot who mimics the society as closely as possible - both in its rational and irrational aspects, both as repository of the wisdom of the past and as the sum totalof all cruelties and stupidities of the past. Very simply, a totally aware, alert, awakened (unbrainwashed) person would not fit very well into any of the standard roles society offers, the damaged, robotized products of traditional child-rearing do fit into those slots.


In case I never mentioned, feel free to guess or ask about any of the quotes here.
