@Theholisticpsyc @jancarson65 Am reminded of research pointing out that people notice unfairness against themselves around 3 but don't usually learn to identify unfairness against others until around 7. It's a finding that's really stuck with me, as it seems to explain a lot.

Finishing this today - it really brings me back. I read most of PKD’a works as a teen in the 90s, and I was weirdly fascinated by VALIS). In my 20s I thought he was just crazy…now? I don’t know.
