Etienne de La Boetie: The Psychology Behind Crowd Manipulation is an essay written by Sofia Falcone and read by Teresa Dawn. In her essay, Sofia chose to focus on Etienne de La Boetie as her inspiration and muse, because in our current day reality, we are experiencing similar political and moral instability that was rampant in 1554, when de La Boitie wrote The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude.
Etienne de La Boetie understood the dangers of blindly trusting a few and giving them total control and power over the welfare of large groups of peoples and Sofia Falcone draws on his theories and writes about how most of our educational system has become obsolete; where teaching rational thinking has been replaced by robotic repetition.
