" The default human mind is an inherently disorderly place to be. The odds of being well adapted to this world by default are virtually none. The reason kids cry and scream so much more than adults is not just because their brains are less developed. It is because experience in the real world forces you to develop coping strategies over time that give you increased control over your mental state. The tantrums, agony, irrationality, and impulsiveness of childhood represent the epitome of being a slave to one’s own default software. "
