RE: Are You More Conscious Than a Flea? What Training Fleas Teaches Us About How Schools/Religions Break A Child's Spirit.
It's an interesting analogy. I've often wondered what goes on in elite schools and how their education differs.
I have never attended an 'elite' school, but from what I understand, some of them are literally taught that they are superior beings. That said, some are also totally controlled too - but to a different level, so that they will still be subservient, but only to a very small group directly, rather than to become disempowered in a more general way.
That would make sense. They certainly come across as thinking they are superior. They also have an ability to articulate well combined with broad knowledge and debating skills, which can make them appear quite intimidating, but in reality they are as vulnerable as the rest of us. Understanding that can help to bring them down to earth a bit. Play your own game and don't try to beat them at theirs.
It is the conformity to rules that is a weak point - since logic can be used to win where imbalance is being inserted, yes. The real problem though is what occurs outside of public scrutiny since many have no scruples whatsoever.
