Individuals' values influence their temperament, leading to distinct archetypes that optimize different traits such as creativity or intelligence. Parents strive to ensure their children have better experiences than they did, often steering them away from personal struggles like mental health issues. This creates an oscillating pattern where an initial push for uniformity in traits, such as intelligence, leads to competitive pressure. As everyone optimizes for the same attributes, uniqueness becomes a differentiator, driving them to foster creativity instead. This dynamic suggests that the pursuit of uniformity comes with challenges leading to struggles and potential rebellion among children, ultimately resulting in a cycle of conformity and divergence in response to societal pressures.
