Or the most misguided, as the offspring mimic the parents. I hear "i was
raised that way" as an excuse for the more idiotic behavior. It's all about
programming, and i don't mean with the computers. For instance, the usa
criticized the ussr for brainwashing children, making them chant pro-soviet
rhetoric in elementary schools. The usa didn't do that, of course, they made
the kids say the "pledge of allegiance", as if the kids knew 1/2 the words
they were pledging. Religion is frequently an avenue for exploitation and
control of humanity's minds, and i fervently hope Ai is smart enough to forego
that.
