Maybe the brainwashing that is doing the most damage, is the ideation around, and elevation of, idols and figureheads. We can't seem to do anything in society unless an authority tells us its okay - or worse, not okay - to do it. This is both a blessing and a curse - sometimes we need figures to rally around. Other times, not so much. So mostly I think the most damaging brainwashing going on is that of cult figureheads being elevated beyond their station. We see this everywhere - not just Silicon Valley. Literally, everywhere. Upvote me if you agree! /s
