Summary

This quote suggests that when children are constantly exposed to messages in education, media, and entertainment that emphasize human beings' inability to control their desires and impulses, it instills a belief that individuals are not capable of handling freedom responsibly. By perpetuating this notion, we risk undermining their trust in themselves and their ability to exercise self-control and make rational choices. It implies that fostering a culture that focuses on individuals' lack of control can ultimately hinder the development of a society that values and upholds freedom.
