If people are trained to not notice something, and they fail to notice it, would you say that the something is subtle? It's an interesting philosophical exercise...
Yes. I think it’s a delicate and important one. For what is the difference in being trained and being institutionalized? Training serves the ability of the individual and institutions serve the ability of the people, so what’s the matter?
I think there is no shortage of paths by which an honest interrogation will conclude that specialization is a benefit in anything but politics, and it’s when the people (Poli translates to “people”) are reduced to services that we have a technocracy. It’s when the people are deprived of the wealth of knowledge and material necessary to be their greater selves, politics and democracy has seen it’s day.
The extent that we have progressed from feudalism is absent in the divisions of power, and ever-present in the displacement of responsibility. For any progress, the societal trajectory is basic as can be: nowadays, the people blame themselves.
