The purpose of Basic Training is to break down the individual's sense of self. Exactly, as I put it "when all individual thoughts and identity are weened out" - in order to mold him into part of a group That is the next step, where the aspect of a great leader also comes in. - All while getting into tip-top physical shape My variation: that physically and psychologically straining period - No doubt Finland does the same. My variation: that was the case already for the army in Sparta and Egypt On that "debating" and "flexible" (for officers only) is where it gets more tricky, but where great leaders, even officers, once again step into the equation. - What makes you think that the Q is militaristic in its organization? Most of you Q-guys on SI: "installment done through repetition??" I'm sure you know that repetition until it becomes a reflex and a way of living is important, something that easily can be installed for maybe 90% of the population. Ilmarinen P.S. But I'm sure the objects have and use some better words than "basic training" when given an individual chance, must be some creativity left. P.P.S. How is above system made into a self-feeding, automatically increasing system?? (minor hint, traumatic experiences, like regular booms and busts, plus regular fear)
