Prophylactic against hype: Schtitt as media gatekeeper; the self-forgetting program

texture · UNDATED (standing policy; dramatized ~7-11 Nov YDAU)

• When: UNDATED (standing policy under the Tavis/Schtitt regime); referenced in the 7 Nov YDAU Orin-Hal call and the 11 Nov Steeply infiltration
• What: Post-Founder, "Schtitt's now calling the shots on who talks to whom." He sees E.T.A. as a "prophylactic against commercial attention" and "thinks junior commercial attention's deforming" (the Admissions Manual invites the kids to "see ourselves as in utero and hype as thalidomide"); he won't let the "Helen Steeply"/Moment profiler talk to any player without him or deLint present, and would "stick her in with C.T." to be filibustered. The larger doctrine, per the narration: "The whole Tavis/Schtitt program here is supposedly a progression toward self-forgetting."
