Master and slave morality runs off the path

One way to see history and morality is through the conflict between social groups. When one casts light to see the history as development a new teleology emerges: the teleology of development and progress. If it is assumed that general social and hence human development needs personal education/development/amelioration to happen, then it is incorrect to form a theory of a slave morality for a mass of powerless humans as well as that picture where only the masters edify the society with their effect on history. Where education however turns to stress its individuals poor results favour the old system of slaves and masters. Bismarckian educational paradigms are an example. The result is a state constructed of robots.
