and, the media...
Which takes me back to my "Drinking the Kool-Aid" post, BECAUSE, point of fact, these shit-bag cults would die a natural death were it not for 'sponsorship'.
I would suggest that Landmark would have died a natural death upon the OUTING by 60 Minutes, and quite a few other concerned journalistic bodies of the time, of its founder; his character and habits.
Who resuscitated, though, who re-imaged this monster, Harvard University!!!
This WHY I focus on relationship networks, and specific agendas as opposed to the psychology of the leader, or the followers. Destructive dynamics are present in many individual and group relationships; in domestic abuse, in English public schools, in Japanese corporate structures of old; in the Catholic church (at some levels); and, certainly, now, in LEFTIST political groups.
However, and with the exception of the latter, I don't see society (via the academy, the current media) calling these things 'good'; in effect normalizing the dysfunction.
As far as I am concerned, you can thank Harvard, Stanford, USC, the University of Pennsylvania (and other esteemed institutions) for your Landmark experience.
