MICHEL FOUCAULT: Please help me understand how it is that by creating "freer" individuals, helps perpetuate...

Because that is modern day narcissim that society presses upon people today. Give people knowledge in all rhelms and aspects of life and empower them to do whatever they want and in so doing the rebel against what they formerly were raised as. As a great theologian once said Vos "Narcissim will be the fall and decline of mankind." And not so much is it psychologists or scientists but man. Man is behind the forcing of giving people the power to rebel against whatever cirstance they are in and in some ways its a great thing but to a fault its more so only to the fall of oneself. For instance Im a christian and had an athiest tell me "Why go to church with your parents its your life go do whatever you want and be successful in life" And then if I was ignorant he would of been the one to give me the power to rebel but that is not my nature to be overcome by narcissistic autonomous mindsetting. I stick with priciples. Now 10 years later happier than ever to stick with going to church.
