What is the impact of primitive ideology on societal development?

Primitive ideology breeds fear and shame, stunting curiosity and turning innocence into obsession; true development arises when we embrace a relaxed, factual attitude towards the body.

— Osho
According to Osho, primitive ideology—rooted in fear, shame, and repression—stunts natural curiosity, especially about the body, turning innocence into obsession. By loading children with guilt and hiding nakedness, society manufactures perversion, pornography, and abuse, dissipating creative energy. Real development comes from raising children with a relaxed, factual attitude to the body, so sexuality integrates naturally and stops hijacking collective attention.

If we make kids afraid of their bodies, they grow up fixated and confused; if we’re calm and honest, they grow up balanced and society advances.
