What Every Child Wants to Know

"What do these people want me to be?" "Do they like me?" And even more fundamentally "Do they want me to be, at all?"

The last question is never considered by today's social scientists - but in my opinion, should be.

We live in a world, where large inhuman forces are at work - and they may work best, if people's needs are ignored. Or, to put this another way - if people do not assert their own needs - but subordinate their needs to these outside forces.

One of these outside forces was The Market - that functioned very well - so well, it was able to impose its limitations on the people it was supposed to serve. People had take back some of the control they had given to it -  by being more assertive about being themselves.

But the record is clear - they could not. They had been small people in a big world so long - they could not be anything else.

The world is full of people who cannot be. And who cannot be aware of this. And they are full of rage and destructiveness.
