Child Sequence:
"difficult matter to learn-- that people have to learn to be truthful. What excites me is that I’ve discovered that truth is innate, and the lying is superficial, superimposed, and the young world I find is making out, is holding with its innate truthfulness, and it no longer wants to go along with the symbols of power structures. They really dare to get out from under and have also been attracted by moving pictures. Moving pictures have made visible the visualizations you had just through the novel of yesterday or through history, and it’s very appealing to see this character whether it’s an imaginary Sir Galahad, or it’s an interpretation of Genghis Khan, or whoever it is. Billions and billions have been spent on getting these images in the heads of children because they would like for the moment to try out being a Genghis Khan looking character, or to be Sir Galahad. Well why not? I certainly as a little child enjoyed this sort of thing tremendously, and pretty soon the grownups said,‘You’ve got to stop.’
