>>I've made no such claim. In fact my position is the opposing view. All worldly authority is corrupted by its self serving interest in power, and consequently must be resisted. The only genuine authority is our internal nature when it is free to seek truth and justice.<<

You are not being practical.

Using the above idea how do we set up our societies then?

And why did we live like barbarians for 200,000 years until the present.

I was a teacher for years. I am just stating what the world's great minds recorded down through history.

It seems you use this word indoctrination a lot and as a substitue word for education. Education is not indoctrination, it is just learning. I find a lot of people who did not go to college like to throw around the word indoctrination for education making education sound like something bad.

When I was going to school I learned all sorts of ideas, left, right center and crazy and then made up my own mind.

I am an old hippie and existentialist, hardly a conformist.
