So-called education that neither allows nor urges enquiry and discussion is that called brainwashing.
— Shilashanti
The first step of brainwashing
is to make those to be victimised
think they are being ‘informed’,
by giving them all the ‘answers’,
as perversely preferred,
which are non-answers.
To prevent this well,
question answers well.
Always question the questionable.
The second step of brainwashing
is to make those already victimised
not think they were misinformed,
by making them all unquestioning,
as perversely preferred
which is questionable.
To prevent this well,
ask questions well.
Always question the questionable.
If you neither allow nor urge yourself to have deeper enquiry and discussion when you should, while assuming you already have all the answers, this is self-brainwashing, that might infect others, if you think others should be like you too.
