The passing on of ideal, tradition, culture is all a form of indoctrination! Even the position of tolerance, and acceptance is considered a 'doctrine' as it has governing rules, and to teach it is to indoctrinate.

So know it or not like it or not we are all products of indoctrination. So all the crap you said about pills and forcing it down our throughs.. Already happened. The only question is did you keep it down, or can you fashion your own pill?
That's true. Thinking

The ideal would be to indoctrinate people with a "show me" attitude. As I recall, Richard Feynman said his father taught him to never trust experts and always think for himself.

But you are right that indoctrination is inevitable. We need to indoctrinate with skepticism.
