Although the word indoctrination is well known, its real implications might not be clear or of interest to most people. There is a hidden depth to this concept, a depth that most people don’t suspect or care about. One of the reasons why most are not aware of its profound effect on them is because they are like deers mesmerized by the headlights of a car; they are rendered blind to its existence and its hypnotizing effects on them.

This book is about how pernicious indoctrination of any kind is. The word doctrine has a religious connotation but is not restricted to religious doctrines. Family upbringing is most of the time a carrier of indoctrination of religious and cultural origin. The school system partners with the family and the church in using indoctrination in order to achieve its goals: get all students to obey no matter what, to believe a ton of historical and religious falsehoods, to submit to their quasi-military discipline, and to get a grade 12 diploma.

To all of you dear readers who have accepted this invitation to share a few ideas and reflections, the author says a warm thank you.

In the same manner, as we are not a comedian without an audience, one is not an author without the reader. He needs to confide in you. He needs you to receive him to share all these thoughts that weigh him down.

When we observe the sociological progress of civilization for the last two hundred years and compare it to the technological progress for the same period, we can notice a very significant time lag. And if sociological progress is falling behind the strong and very efficient lead of technology, it’s because of limiting factors, which are too numerous to all be dealt with in this essay.

Among these limiting factors, there is one in particular that has a dominant effect on civilization. We mean coercion and its corrosive effects on any and all sociocultural entities. Coercion, through intimidation and constraint, makes possible the indoctrination of the masses. Indoctrination is not the monopoly of religion, although they are its main agents; the family, the school, the government, and the media are also major agents of indoctrination.
