Slave Academy

Where does the entertainer exist? Only in the minds of those who give him attention. Without attention — from fans, or a captive audience, or just bored people — the entertainer is nothing more than a potential that has no path to realization. Any random face in the audience is actually far more powerful than the personality that stands on the stage and appears to be in control of things. Each such face can simply turn in another direction, and by doing so, deprive the entertainer of a piece of his fictitious power. But the established rules of entertainment teach the members of the audience to see themselves as helpless victims of charisma, and this way, also train them for a life of submissiveness and humiliation in other areas where it is in practice they who hold all the cards.
