Abasing yourself to something means humbling or lowering yourself to them, abasing yourself before or to the throne. Here I think you meant on insult to or lowering of the natural learning process. Of course, the literal molding of the minds got a chuckle of me. Sorry to add another one nitpick, but I’m pretty sure it should be abasement OF nature, not to nature.

The object of "inflicted" is something unpleasant, e.g. "inflicted heavy losses on the enemy", "a storm that inflicted widespread damage" (examples courtesy of dictionary.com). "Inflicted humans" would imply that humans are something unpleasant, and would also raise the question of who they're inflicted on. "Afflicted" means "to inflict some great injury or hurt upon, causing continued pain or mental distress; to trouble grievously; to torment." No, “afflicted” is correct.
