Ages Four and Up, by Daniel Greenberg
An industrialized society needs highly trained robot-like people to fit into certain places in the economy. This takes time and effort. To take a human being and turn him into a robot is something that you can't do overnight. In the old days, children started apprenticing themselves when they were still quite young; it was fairly common to see four and five year olds standing around a smithy or a weaving shop or whatever and learning the intricate tricks of the trade. Indeed, even toddlers are capable of absorbing minute details of the procedures taking place in the home - even intricate ones like how to cook, how to clean, etc. It is a mistake to think that little children cannot be useful in complex situations. They can be.
It is not the complexity that we are talking about at all. From the dawn of man little children found ways to ease themselves into complex situations gradually. Even in the most complex industrial society children aged four and up can have a vital role, can find a place of interest where they can observe and slowly master all the intricacies. It is the need to turn them into robots that takes time.
Today, the average Ph.D. in science is an uncreative robot drone who still has to go out and become a post-doctoral appointee for several years under somebody else's guidance. Usually, he doesn't begin to do his own work until he is in his thirties. Why is this the case, when a generation or two ago the norm was that people in their early twenties were doing creative work? Society puts tremendous pressure on developing scientists to keep them in line, and the longer they are kept in line, the less likelihood there is that at the end of their long training they will still be independent and creative enough to break out of their pre-set mold.
toto kind of vysvetluje vsetkych konformnych ludi, ktori svoj zivot neziju naplno, a nevedia co so svojou buducnostou.. :/
a nasledne svojou pasivitou dojebavaju efektivne fungovanie spolocnosti, lebo svoju robotickost potom nutia ostatnym.. :/
