Journal Entry: 1-21-2012
Parents will most easily prevail at raising a generation of children/individuators by instilling in each growing child, a highly developed conscience to help them think and act in very civilized ways,
as they conduct their affairs in their self-governing adult years.
This thin but tough veneer of civilization, lying atop their bubbling, burbling set of Dionysian drives beneath the surface, would not be easily ripped away from them as was done to youths in previous generations. The improvement this time would be that they were brought up as individualists. They think for themselves. They are independent and very self-reliant. They are highly trained as willful ethicists. Persuading, corrupting or conning them will be very difficult to pull off.
I envision a generation of remarkable members (of which I am an early forerunner) doing amazing, noble deeds, devising brand-new ethical updates as they delve deeper into their productive, artful lives. It is very promising.
