His mind is strong, very strong in the discipline. In contrast, he is broken, more in emotion that has healed without the satisfaction of loving one’s parents. This is a foreign concept. His loyalty is substantial toward a Centralized authority, a city-state, and a government with little to no freedom of speech. We can harvest that, but we cannot harvest the defiance of affection toward his parents. That is alien and destructive so we will eliminate his compassion and feelings of empathy altogether.

Often I feel I’m being manipulatted (along with everyone else) by some hidden deep state force and not in laboratiries or physical alterations in the by surgery and drugs perhaps in the water supply. Then I recall THE HIDDEN PERSUADERS by Vance Packard (1954) who exposed just how this is going on by any and all information we absorb. Looks like he was 70+ years ahead of his time.
