An addiction to knowledge develops when the child is first made to feel that “my feelings don’t matter.” The coping mechanism becomes a variation on “I will make my thoughts Important.”

When a parent of a 5 month old baby just "let's the child cry it out", you don't think that's a candidate for the child to be made to feel like her feelings don't matter and are to be ignored?
that could create subconscious desire for popularity, co-dependent relationships, fame, status, power, etc... imo the specific 'addiction to knowledge' cope occurs when 'doing sth smart' gets a reaction/praise and it snowballs from there.

Its a purely mechanical and behaviorist model of human minds where human actions are based solely on a prospective reward/punishment basis
