Now that is interesting! I've never watched Survivor or any of those shows. I totally follow your point though!
Wow, ultimate propaganda plus training!
Very interesting.
Thank you and a bump for your wisdom!
It's all conditioning.
They reinforce losing, cheating and lying -- while admonishing honor, respect, integrity. It's not accidental that they always get it backwards. They were born and raised for the occasion. Then after they've gotten all they can out of them, they get sinecures at the New York Times until their unmourned passing.
