“the practice of preparing or training someone for a particular purpose or activity” seems like a valid definition for indoctrinating kids into joining an illogical cult.
This definition basically means all school is grooming. And all on the job training. Or essentially anything where you are assisting someone else to be able to do something.
Yes by that definition that is true, but that is an actual definition of the word grooming. I was just pointing out the word did work for what it was used for
Yes. That’s what grooming is. It wasn’t a negative term until it started to be used to only describe grooming for sexual activities. Another word like this is cult. The basis of it is basically cultivation or worship.
A more original definition of cult is “a system of religious veneration and devotion to a particular figure or object.” Many religions today can be defined by that.
Even indoctrinate isn’t necessary evil: a doctrine is a belief or setbof beliefs taught by a Church, political party, or other group. Indoctrination mainly means teaching that uncritically, which is often done with many different things other than religion. Generally the negative part is not allowing the students to take a critical view to see whether what is being taught is true and/or beneficial vs negative.

TIL I groomed my family by teaching them to use a PW manager and hardware U2F keys.
Seems like a pretty loose definition to me
Passwords aren’t organized cults though.
