just saying, is all V:
so, all those with experience
are experienced in the Old Ways
as if they were Europe before any of the Wars; there is a New Thinking
which older teachers a priori and de facto cannot respond to
therefore,
screen out the older ones
(“… and pan-fry the Big Ones
use Tact, Poise and Reason
and gently squeeze them …”)*, neutralise their experience, and if they
won’t go – even if they have good values,
even if they have good practice – allow them
to participate ONLY if they subsume their practice in a
management role (‘keep your enemies closer’)
and if they won’t do that (‘… pain …’; sharp intake of breath):
‘they – will – not – contibute
does – not – compute
danger, Will – danger
exterminate – exterminate’
… systematic and consistent disempowerment
* Steely Dan, ‘Throw Back the Little Ones’, from Katy Lied (1975); used without permission but definite alignment
