The Necessity of Subjugation: Developing Discipline through Apprenticeship
This section explores the idea that subjugation to lawful authority can be viewed as an apprenticeship, a necessary stage in the transition from childhood to adulthood. Discipline is seen as a skill that can be developed through adherence to strict ritual or immersion within a belief system or hierarchy of values. This stage of subordination to a potent social institution provides protection, fosters identity, and lays the groundwork for the development of self-mastery and true freedom. While these dogmatic systems can be tyrannical and oppressive, they serve as necessary precursors to freedom and personal growth.
