interesting idea.  I haven't really known how to think about the Grobe
Saeugling...

it sort of connects with Frenesi's postpartum hatred of Prairie, and
the "demand feeding" espoused by Spock, too.

a backlash against permissiveness.-- or a sober assessment of its
proponents' chances against organized forces of management rather
task-centered than people-centered...

it's probably one of the reasons for the disappointing performance of
the Counterforce, the nightmarish passage where their superhero
incarnations in search of the Radiant Hour come up against the
father-figure and have their travel priorities lowered so they can't
proceed in time (GR 687-694)
