Intended outcome vs emergent phenomena? Just follow the money. For over a century, the tax-exempt foundations including Rockefeller, Carnegie and Ford have poured gobs of money into 'reforming' education to warp it into the factory schooling model; into promoting a warped version of feminism, which incited resentment between the sexes and drove many men to be ashamed of their own masculinity (and hence more easily domesticable); into research which essentially weaponised psychology as a means of gaining control over human beings; and into seeding the drug culture of the 1960s, which made a whole generation weak, lazy and self-obsessed (and also made them terrible parents whose children are even weaker, lazier and more self-obsessed).

Whether deliberate or not perhaps doesn't really matter. A bit like the nuke coming, ("sorry, I launched it by mistake.") :)

It appears to me that for western society, this generation has lost its capacity to suffer. i.e. "soft". Perhaps a silver lining is that it might backfire ?
