The answer,* of course, is plain in circle terms – that they are almost 100% Outer Circle people themselves and that the selfishness and self-centred-ness which brings that about, when carried to extremes, projects itself outwards onto other people, the nearest the mostest [sic], and particularly onto their children who will from the earliest years tend (whatever later rebellious periods may suggest) to imitate their parents’ example.

I suppose that an eldest son is to that type of person bound to be a sort of flagship for the sublimation of their ambitions and the vicarious relief of their suppressed sense of failures [sic] in their own terms – to do well, to be respected, to make money. And the self-will of such people is so strong that it never occurs to them that Nature has its own ideas for everybody – people (this is typical of the Thatcherite small-businessman ethos) are ** not Individuals who should be encouraged to develop according to their own qualities and talents, but fodder for the manipulator’s World-plan, however grandiose or petty that plan is.
