> People live up to what you expect them to live up to. > If you expect a 6 year old to run the grocery store you own while you're away, then they will... One of the problems with our society is the tendency to take a kernel of truth and then oversimplify and take it so far that it just becomes a total falsehood. Like your example of the 6 year old and the grocery store, there are certainly stores/communities where that's reasonable, but also lot of stores/communities where it isn't. There's no general rule there. > The infantilization of people has caused far greater harm than almost any other thing. ...and then there's the the hyperfocus that leads to a total lack of perspective.
