@fulanigirl@blackmastodon I feel it is the same with severely (emotionally or physically) abused people as children, who perpetuate a limited world view that includes believing that abusing their own children is acceptable behavior. Because if they self examined their behavior, they would have to reckon with the fact that they were never safe as children nor adequately protected or cared for.
To change a person's world view requires what Gregory Bateson categorized as Level 3 learning. (cont)
