• En la sociedad occidental, y en particular en la estadounidense, la imaginación se estulticia desde la infancia. El niño imaginativo es desalentado y reprendido. Se le dice que es un mero sueño, que pierde el tiempo y no lleva a ninguna parte. Se dice que es "poco práctico". A medida que el niño crece y su imaginación le lleva inevitablemente a expresar ideas poco convencionales y a probar nuevos comportamientos, se le reprende e incluso se le castiga con saña por tales muestras de heterodoxia.
