Now for the BRAINWASHING.

The ultimate novice is the newborn infant.

But is a newborn infant truly FREE?

They are instinctively motivated by (slaves of) avoiding pain, discomfort and hunger.

They are instinctively motivated by (slaves of) seeking joy, comfort and peace.

The core human motivation schema (PRIMARY AXIOMS):

(1) PROTECT YOURSELF
(2) PROTECT YOUR FAMILY
(3) PROTECT YOUR TERRITORY

The BRAINWASHERS try to subvert this natural human motivation schema (AXIOMS) by reshuffling them:

The PATRIOT

(1) PROTECT YOUR TERRITORY (COUNTRY)
(2) PROTECT YOUR FAMILY (FELLOW SOLDIERS/OFFICIALS)
(3) PROTECT YOURSELF (SACRIFICE YOURSELF FOR TERRITORY OR FAMILY, HERO FALLACY)

The MOBSTER

(1) PROTECT YOUR FAMILY (OMERTA)
(2) PROTECT YOURSELF (SACRIFICE YOURSELF FOR FAMILY)
(3) PROTECT YOUR TERRITORY (TERRITORY IS FUNGIBLE BUT STILL CRITICAL)
