Between this and your comment yesterday, one would almost get the feeling that incumbent creatures of this particular swamp will soon be endangered species, but I think that the drip of fresh blood (as opposed to a flood) strongly favors indoctrination rather than revolution, and youngsters be disappointed.
However, I think that this is for the better. If the incumbents are gone, you're the prime game for all the predators you'll face on the interfaces of your institutional swamp. I've been in that position when I was waaaay too young to recognize that - I didn't even have the skills to recognize a sociopath. I got my butt pwnd within a year.
Better have some allies to suck up to in the beginning. Play their game for a while. Go for the kill when you're wiser and more powerful. Then at least you'll have a chance to succeed.
