Hi Anna, goooood question. In my own case in having to instill moral values
in my own 3 yr old son, I am stuck in a wildly paradoxical position. I can
allow him to go with his mother to church, but I am in a position of having
to carefully explain that while the ethical and moral values are OK, the
entire theory behind them, the entire memetic infrastructure in support of
it, is *completely* wrong, no truth there at all.
So what would go on in the mind of a child, given such instruction? I
haven't said anything yet, but I flatly refuse to tell him anything I know
to be false.
