Institutionalized, fine, but subtle? I think manipulative is the word for all of this. Short of widespread consciousness to the systems we depend on, the methods at work are manipulation, however deluded the practitioner. For most of those

My first reaction to your comment was that I would be pretty shocked if anyone here didn’t realize that, and wouldn’t you know I have now read more of the comments and here I am shocked. The idea that this problem results from heightened se
