Clinton is right on here - Ben's manifesto (>_>) is basically a restatement of Dawkins' "memetic metaphor", comparing the transmission of ideas to biological evolution.
So breaking tradition (mutation) might most likely be bad *now*, for you right here, but in the long run, for the right person, it is simply *neccesary*.
But then, i *like* the metaphor...
(On the main issue, however, it seems to me that RPGs/Story Games are exactly the opposite of a good indoctrination tool - they force you to act & think & react, instead of simply *believe*... right?)
