I agree absolutely but look at it from the model's perspective [OK this is
MEMES again]. From the model's perspective the most important task of
general education is that we all get infected by/ believe implicitly/ pay
adherence to the model. That way it perpetuates itself in the world.
I agree with you Marion that it is appalling [and interesting]. It helped
me at least understand the appallingness when I began to see these models
from their perspective, not mine or those of any other carrier of the
models.
