So outdated then that it is still taught in undergraduate studies at
redbrick universities?  

And is your dig at polytechnics, which I take to mean establishments geared
towards vocational study and development of skills as opposed to academia,
any better than my dig at Daily Mail readers?

I believe you have missed the point, although I haven't read or Googled this
in many years, I stand to be corrected: whilst I agree that some specifics
in his text may be seen as outdated, the fact still remains that whatever a
person's IQ (and EQ) then his or her mental functions are severely limited
by survival instincts the lower down the hierarchy one lives ones life.

When I used to work 5 days a week, my mind was constantly preoccupied with
work.  When I barely had enough money for beer, my mind was preoccupied with
where my next pint was coming from.  I've never lived on the breadline nor
have I struggled with raising a family in an inner-city environment so one
can only speculate what such people would be thinking about on a day-to-day
basis.
