It also reminds me of neglect. Perhaps the most disturbing books I have come across from the post WWII genre are the ones that capture what seems to be the "science" of living. It looks like this: here are the possible responses for X situation... It is almost like programming individuals has gone on much longer than we may be aware. While I suspect the intent was partly to unify people after the war, every once in a while the thought crosses my mind that something else is going on here with these mapped out responses and diagrams of thoughts or the collections of all the possible thoughts. The effort to measure everything about humanity has been going on for quite some time.
