Hero Expiation: The Power of Giving Power Away

[Waking Times]: Isn’t it fascinating that the larger a society grows the more it kotows to the whims of arbitrary power?

It prevents such mechanisms by means of cultural conditioning, brainwashing, propaganda, and indoctrination.

Over a long enough timeline, a society loses track of where and when the corruption began. At this point, it is almost too late for the sick society to ever recover and become healthy again. That is, unless individual people (cultural heroes) wake up to the corruption and attempt to awaken others.
