I think that extends what I meant. Children sometimes have radically different perspectives and ideas, in my experience anyway. I find working with new graduates quite sobering; when I get to the bottom of some odd idea or input I often find that there is a great deal of sense in what they say, but the cognitive dissonance between their stance and my stance sometimes prevents me from really accepting that they are right. When I "move on" they will have their day and things will change as a result. I don't know if that is good or bad, but it is new and different and I think that my ideas have not really been that successful in terms of coping with or improving the world. I think children's ability to internalize a world system is possibly an advantage now given that the world of now is sharply different from the world of the 1970's when I grew up. When they come to formulate new ideas about how to run things they may have a much more solid grasp of reality than the view of our generation.
