'It's a mistake to imagine that we're all moving towards a state of happy primitivism. The model here seems to be less the noble savage than our un-innocent post-Freudian selves, outraged by all that over-indulgent toilet training, dedicated breast feeding and parental affection...Our neighbors had happy childhoods to a man and still feel angry. Perhaps they resent never having had a chance to become perverse...'
