Ideological Institutions
Ideological Institutions are institutions tasked with controlling "the minds of the exploited population."[1] Ideological institutions function by shaping our thoughts, behaviours, and skills with reward, punishment, pedagogical practices, and ideology. Examples of ideological institutions include the Catholic Church, the Capitalist school system, Freemasonry and other esoteric organizations, and Hollywood.

Notes
Although Ruyle is the inspiration for this term, he does not use the term ideological institution, instead tagging the church as the institution which controls the minds of the exploited population. "There is the church as an "organization which controls access to the sacred and supernatural and is thereby able to control the minds of the exploited population." ,[2] However, as outlined in the article "From Zoroaster to Star Wars," many other institutions are implicated in controlling the minds of the exploitive masses. [3], many other institutions are involved in controlling the minds of the exploited masses.
Ideological Institutions create/reproduce and disseminate Creation Templates.
The article "From Zoroaster to Star Wars, Jesus to Marx" tags this planet's ubiquitous Old Energy Creation Template.[4]
