This man has been discussed here on a couple of threads. The larger issue of education and control has also been discussed. I found this on eye-rise (http://eye-rise.com/forum/showthread.php?9192-What-s-an-Elite-Education-Famous-Teacher-Explains-John-Taylor-Gatto&p=19056&viewfull=1#post19056), thanks Kathy!

And I looked at the essay you linked (https://jandeane81.com/showthread.php/7671-Psychiatry-and-Erasing-the-Unique-Individual?p=841935329&viewfull=1#post841935329) to a couple years ago, Aianawa.

This is only five minutes, and I have to say I didn't read either of the texts he names. I was amongst the first class in the various states I grew up in to no longer have to take Civics, Latin, or IPS (intro to physical sciences) In hindsight, all three would have helped in many ways.

I found the complete video from which this is excerpted. It's about 4 hours, called The Trapped Flea Principal. He says near the beginning, "I have enough materials here to keep you in duress for about a week."

He used the word exactly as Mark Passio defines it.

I looked and you can find a pdf of Leviathan (http://www.gutenberg.org/files/3207/3207-h/3207-h.htm) online.
