Mental Self Defense and Reverse Social Engineering for Human Beings

In the modern totalitarian state, the state knows the intelligence and capabilities of everyone. All the state has to do is constrain those members of the public who have the capacity to potentially change anything, and it knows that if the methods of restraining those individuals are covert, and that journalism will censor any talk of nets or disguised zookeepers, the rest of the zoo creatures will be pacified, controlled, and will remain beasts of burden, or worse, dinner. And those trying to escape will simply be interesting research projects, as they try to either get out or warn the others, acting out Plato’s myth of the cave, over and over again.
