The 50s housewife

It can be hard to understand others' complex motivations due to the invisible style of management  in vogue in schools today. This also leads to the undergraduate postmodernist's feeling that he or she is simply a brain in a vat.

Advanced behavioural management techniques render invisible the autocratic arm of the system and uses the techniques of a simpering 1950s housewife to impress upon those whom it wishes to bend to its will that what it has in mind is really "your idea!"

 "Would you like this pain to continue? Or wouldn't you prefer to be rewarded?"

Let lunatics resist as much as they will -- it only goes to prove that they are lunatics or masochists! They must enjoy pain very much in order not to give in to the seductions of the smooth operator.

So that is how we all end up suckling on the nipples of the system.

Then along comes someone with a more autonomous mode of thought -- and we lack the skills and sophistication for dealing with them.

They don't make any sense so long as they are not suckling on the nipples of the system.
