Episode IV: The Academy of Obedience: Discussion

This thread is dedicated to discussion of Episode IV of Empire Codes: The Academy of Obedience. Use this space to analyse the formation pipeline itself: elite schooling, admissions filters, debt-backed credentialing, policy relays, and placement networks that redistribute authority before the argument begins. Keep the focus on the documentary record, institutional pathways, and the difference between education, accreditation, and obedience.
