Show me this research that shows children are not malleable.
You know that none of them are born knowing a language or any rules of behavior?
Both are wrong. There's a strong language instinct.
Specialists call it a "language capacity" and it is the capacity to acquire a language through partial and fragmented exposure to one.
But since every single person has a different exposure the end results are all different.
There is no "language". There are only individual expressions of something that is similar enough to something another person has such that crude but many times confused communication can take place.
Behaviour is strongly innate.
Some of it is.
But power structures are entirely man-made.
And the Stanford study shows beautifully what happens to ordinary people when all you do is put them into a dictatorial power position over others.
What happens to all these people in dictatorial power structures called corporations?
One aspect of Anarchism is that if you remove illegitimate power structures, like illegitimate dictatorial power structures, that in itself will change the way people think and behave.
