For all the people who study the various devious ways in which nasty people try to seize the reins of power, how many recognize the linchpin that allows all such evil conspiracies to happen?
Interesting: curious by what Larken Rose mentioned about Prussian education system, I asked perplexity.ai, "What is the original purpose of the Prussian education system?" to which it replied the following (emphasis added):
The original purpose of the Prussian education system was to address societal and state needs during the 18th century, particularly focusing on creating a disciplined, obedient, and loyal citizenry. It was designed to instill values such as duty, hierarchy, and respect for authority, while providing basic technical skills like reading and writing. This system emerged as a response to both internal challenges, such as peasant rebellions, and external pressures, including military defeats like the Battle of Jena–Auerstedt in 1806 [1] [2] [3].
