Now, one might wonder, what is so wrong with some advancement of the species, that it would be necessary to run away from it. Well, it’s pretty simple. Children are ALWAYS faster, smarter and stronger than the adults they only sort of replicate. And they are ALWAYS dangerous and a bit like wild animals if not kept on a short leash at all times. Even a slight improvement has an effect that is magnified quite a bit by the increased distance between who they are, and who they are imagined to be by those having charge over them. It is one thing to have a stray cat jump on your lap, and quite another to have a bobcat do the same. The brighter they are, the more quickly they adapt to their environment. The chaos of childhood is a harsh environment. And they adapt to it very quickly, and quite well.
