Indoctrination Nation


My tendency is to think of indoctrination as a negative concept. In fact I think this mindset is probably shared by much of the country. No matter what affiliation, background or cause, I think most people don’t want to be indoctrinated or be considered as indoctrinators.
But that’s really how things get done. That’s how people and institutions and causes get things done. Ideas, long drawn out logic and carefully considered decisions are far more costly, and risky, than brute force indoctrination.  And so we are an indoctrination nation and will continue to be until someone tells us not to.
