Carter Feiss’s Reviews > Walden Two > Status Update

He’s losing me here. “Let me add a scientific touch. When a young couple become engaged, they go to our Manager of Marriages… If there’s a discrepancy they are advised against marriage. What exactly does the Manager of Marriage do? ‘Sorry but you’re too retarded to marry her :(.’ Also the notion that young parents (i.e. literal children) are better at parenting than thirty year olds is craaaazy.

I’m not loving the pace or main argument of this book but I will give Skinner props for predicting (or maybe theorizing) a lot of modern cultural trends and more progressive social/familial practices. EG Positive Parenting, flexible work schedules.
