As far as I can tell, there's no need to do anything at all to keep people passive and obedient. Most people seem to be born that way. They're kinda zombie like. Don't believe me? Look at the Stanley Milgram experiments.

Milgram did experiments on newborns?

Fair enough. I should have found a better example. But do you really think those obedient people got that way because there's some sort of conspiracy by some elite, like Noam Chomsky alludes to?


What have milgram's experiments got to do with how people are born? He experimented with adults.
