I have a feeling that today (or yesterday) is probably a huge generational shift.
#31
Early childhood is important in deciding how children grow up. It is then that they develop core assumptions of the competence, good will, and trustworthiness of adults. These assumptions have no logical explanation, as they are moral values.

What people see in early childhood shapes their expectations for the rest of life. If parents are neglectful, abusive, incompetent, or exploitative, then children expect much the same in adulthood. Cultural identity, one of the slightest and most benign of distinctions between people, also forms early -- and we all know this.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist  but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
