    Controlling the mind seems to be the method for the few to control the many.

    Oh no doubt. Cattle are corralled by fences, humans are corralled by ideology.

    It's true that no group is exempt. It seems once a displaced group gets power, the pendulum begins to swing too far the other direction. And it just keeps going like that for all of human history.

    To continue the pendulum analogy, what we really need is a dampener.
