Conditioned Social Harmonisation

Conditioned Social Harmonisation is a key aspect of the educational system in the Benacian Union, specifically within the Humanist Institutes. This method of indoctrination is used to shape the students' beliefs and behaviours in order to align them with the values and goals of the Union-State. Through a combination of cognitive behavioural therapy, psychological manipulation, and ideological training, students are conditioned to accept their designated roles within society and to support the ideals of the Humanist philosophy.

The concept of conditioned social harmonisation is rooted in the belief that individuals must be taught to accept and internalise certain societal norms and values in order to create a harmonious society. This is achieved through a process of psychological conditioning, in which students are exposed to certain stimuli and rewarded or punished based on their responses. Over time, this conditioning leads to the internalisation of the desired beliefs and behaviours.

The curriculum at Humanist Institutes is designed to facilitate this process of conditioning. Students are exposed to a wide range of subjects, including classical studies, the humanities, languages, mathematics, and the sciences. However, the curriculum is heavily slanted towards ideological training and indoctrination, with a strong emphasis on the teachings of Humanism and the importance of the Union-State. Students are taught to accept and internalise the ideals of Humanism, such as the belief in the superiority of the Human species, the importance of the Coordinated State, and the need for a just and harmonious society.

In addition to the curriculum, students are also exposed to a variety of psychological techniques to facilitate the process of conditioning. These techniques include cognitive behavioural therapy, which is used to change thought patterns and behaviours, as well as the use of psychoactive drugs in some cases. These drugs are administered in small doses with the goal of inducing a transformative mystical experience that causes a permanent rewiring of the brain to be more receptive to Humanist insights.

The Humanist Institutes also use physical conditioning to reinforce the indoctrination process. Students are required to participate in regular physical exercise and paramilitary training, which helps to create a sense of discipline and obedience. Additionally, students are required to adhere to strict rules and regulations, which further reinforces the process of conditioning.
