Indoctrination... I knew it. Whatever you are, as one Admiral to another, I have refused to give into your clear attempt at psychological conditioning.

I had thought that implementing a form of this could help to generate a more collective ideal of resources and society, since we have no activities focused on a sense of collective harmony.
