     There  are many realms of domination:   militaristic,
economic,  linguistic, religious,  ritualistic,  cultural,
sexual, political, intellectual, life-style, etc.

     In  the  intellectual realm domineering people  often
try to take control over:

1.  What transcendent realities may be reverenced,
 2.  What questions may be asked,
  3.  What questions may be answered,
   4.  What alternatives may be considered,
    5.  What evidence may be considered,
     6.  What authorities may be considered,
      7.  What rainbows may be viewed with awe,
       8.  What experiences may be acknowledged,
        9.  What desires may be talked about,
         10.  What dishonesty may be exposed,
          11.  What lacks in integrity may be exposed,
           12.  What collusions and addictions are good,
            13.  What traditions should be worshipped,
             14.  What leaders should be worshipped,
              15.  What intimacies may be respected. . .

     When  domineering people control intellectual thought
in the ways suggested above ---  people are in no position
to think clearly,  learn from their experiences,  or  make
wise  and prudent decisions.    People are  often  coerced
into answering only  those questions which can be answered
with "yes"  or "no";  and then coerced to give the "right"
answer to each of those very biased questions --- or else!
Police  states  try  to control even what happens   within
private  intimate  relationships ---   so the  victims  of
subjugation have no place to hide.    There victims are in
effect  told that  they  cannot  demonstrate any kind   of
personal   or communal  integrity  ---   for all forms  of
personal   and  communal  integrity are  threats  to  "The
Domination System".
