But since the word, "reprogramming" has such negative, commie overtones, I suggest we use the term, "rebooting". That has such a sensible and soothing, capitalist sound.
Rebooting and updating one's software. Folk will embrace this concept while they recoil and are suspicious of deprogramming and re-education.
The rebooting could take place in a lively Computer Software Theme Park, "The Eternal Upgrade", rather than the dismal "FEMA camps" of re-education program fame.
People would flock to these "Parks" to experience an Upgrade, the fountain of youth. "Drag your old FORTRAN self in and leave a super-fast and interactive, windows 8". Joan Rivers could be the spokesperson, selling eternal upgrades to the tired, those infected with viruses, and other slow, outdated models of Americans.
If we want to convert the willfully ignorant, we must be present and heard, in their places of worship, at leisure events they frequent, and where they work. We must lead by example but provide such a tempting lure that few will be able to resist conversion.
"The new and improved self" is a message that sells well to the consuming public. Couple that message with the notion that a prodigal outcast, returning to the fold, is always loved best and people will line up for an "upgrade".
ps: Plus rebooting sounds sort of like what the above posters are suggesting. Great minds think alike.
