When 6-year-olds look at the current standard of political discourse — especially, say, in the US — they must be appalled.
You might think me a trifle Trumped. However, this is exactly the experiment that Lego performed. To celebrate 50 years of Singapore’s existence, Lego built a futuristic version of Singapore.
Then it asked 6-year-olds to come in and redesign it.
Stunningly, these kids were less fascinated by the idea of more skyscrapers and more keen on building a home close to their dad’s office, so that they could see their dads more often.
They were less moved by, say, robots, and more interested in building parks and ensuring that the whole family could eat together at home.
Of course, the clip is shamelessly manipulative. But in a good way.
