"The process of inculcating ideas, attitudes, cognitive strategies or a professional methodology. It is often distinguished from education by the fact that the indoctrinated person is expected not to question or critically examine the doctrine they have learned. As such it is often used pejoratively. However, instruction in the basic principles of a science, or the methodology of a profession, can also be called indoctrination, in the sense that people do not necessarily question or critically examine them. From the specific perspective of some people, like the people who don't critically examine basic principles of a science or methodology of a profession, the word does not necessarily have negative connotations."
Ah yes Charity. I left that out to purposefully create a cognitive error, and to only see what I wanted to see and to leave the rest out. You caught me! Red handed even!
All the editor for that particular piece was stating, was in fact, that anything could be considered indoctrination. I see no cognitive error, only you trying to make a mountain out of Cumorah hill.
What infymus quoted is from the wiki page. But he didn't give you the disclaimer wiki included with this article, to wit:.
"This article or section has multiple issues: It needs additional references or sources for verification. It may contain original research or unverifiable claims. It may not present a
worldwide view of the subject."
Oh God Charity that’s f*n rich. How about we place that same disclaimer square on the cover of Joe’s Book of Mormon? Better yet, why don’t you edit both Wiki pages and put a disclaimer that in order to more fully understand indoctrination or brain washing, one must fast and pray for guidance from the Holy Ghost AFTER they have paid a full tithe?
And Infymus talks about deception and thought control. He also shows a great disdain for his fellow posters. He thinks we can't find out that his knowledge base is wiki, and that we can't recognize what he is doing. We caught you. Try to pull the wool over someone else's eyes next time.
What the hell are you talking about? Did I not state “Both can be found on WIKI.” ? How is this showing disdain for fellow posters? I think you’re talking out your ass because quite frankly, Wiki is an excellent source – while not definitive – for finding information. It’s up to you to cross reference and search down more resources – except OOPS, sorry Charity, you’re completely unfamiliar with that concept because well, if the Holy Ghost burns your buxom, it must be true.
