“If you engage with someone as if they are faulty, or somehow inferior, you are attempting to direct or assign them to the low-range spectrum. Of course, none is obliged to accept these implications, but certain constructs make it near impossible to reject them. In the Artificium, parents regularly do this with their children. Already the imposing of authority, usually explained as a necessary teaching of discipline and manners, is a subterfuge method of control. The key aspect here is the imposition of authority. In lieu of authority, there should be respect, and respect is always earned. However, in taking the authority route, parents insist on obedience. Thus, they help instill the parameters for obedience later on. Obedient children become obedient adults. Obedient of what? It does not matter... Whatever the authority figure says is right. In this manner, parents can almost guarantee a smooth transition towards servitude or serfdom of their children later in life. In other words, they help raise slaves ― to authority.”
