More on my previous thoughts, I think they are likening humans to the dogs in the experiment, that we are easily conditioned just like that, only in more subtle ways. I haven't been able to decide what the candy man part means to me, I think it's either about a drug dealer or a traveling bible salesman (no offense to religious people out there, but religion is yet another way in which we are conditioned by society.) More on religion, I think the open part about "supreme in design..." is about how peoples' belief systems tend to try to place humanity in some sort of exalted position, like us being "in the Creator's image..", when really, people are just naked apes with a sense of humor. Sorry, am I being too long-winded? I congratulate anyone who's read this far, hahaha!
