Nonsense. Social engineering is using the force of the state to modify behaviors. You can say forced education is social engineering, but the act of educating or learning is not social engineering.
> Social engineering is using the force of the state to modify behaviors.
You may think that, but that isn't what it means. Look it up
Wikipedia: Social engineering is a discipline in social science that refers to efforts to influence popular attitudes and social behaviors on a large scale, whether by governments or private groups.
Google: The application of sociological principles to specific social problems.
Dictionary.com: the application of the findings of social science to the solution of actual social problems.
So whatever you're talking about, social engineering isn't the phrase you're looking for.
Words have meaning, I'm not "wanting" a semantic debate, I'm simply telling you that the way you're using the term is bound to be misunderstood because it doesn't mean that. Take it how you will, but no you didn't use the term correctly even in the political sense as I gave you the political science definition from Wikipedia, that is the political sense.
Wikipedia is not the beginning and the end. The English has a profound ability to change. And yes, I used the term in an appropriate manner that many who debate politics understand it.
Also, go argue that decimate means to destroy 10% versus what it is perceived as to mean today (more than 10%.)
