Generationally it seems we are breeding easy moders and then turning them into puppets. Take what I call "the path" for example. In North American culture lower-upper middle class children are taught to go to public school, go to college then find a job. The education socializes them to become the next working class, they are taught a filtered version of history coupled with every single skill necessary to do the busy work of those who are at the top. They are taught that it is easier to follow the majority and never challenge or try as failure or mistake is an unsurvivable condition. My children are taught it is better to try and fail than to never have tried, while it may be cliche or a little too "Meet the Robinsons" you cannot ignore the law of the harvest, "you reap what you sow". Those who truly suceed are able to engauge at an individual level with emotional interest without personal exposure. I submit that this key skill is nearly impossible for people to obtain thus they result to personal and individual attacks and severly limit their ability to question the 1%.
