Key Notes
Iran is described as a dual system split between religious clerical authority and the secular government.
In Jiang's ranking, parents matter because they pay and can create trouble; teachers matter because they implement the rules; government and colleges often care only that the school produces no problems or paying students.
He says the government's practical demand is no problems and compliance, so a school that trains obedience can count as a good school from the state's point of view.
Religions have preserved this secret for thousands of years, while schools, science, government, and powers that be suppress it because it threatens the false reality from which they derive power.
Jiang's direct answer to the student is that secret societies do not merely fight or infiltrate government; they are the government.
He argues that the same bureaucratic pattern appears beyond universities: Canada, US government, regulation, and the military all show management growth over real work.
Jiang extends Arendt's description of totalitarianism to bureaucracy generally: all governments and bureaucracies tend toward totalitarianism because that is how they justify their existence.
