"We are in a process of developing a whole series of techniques which will enable the controlling oligarchy to get people actually to LOVE their servitude." - Aldous Huxley
"Education should aim at destroying free will, so that, after pupils have left school, they shall be incapable, throughout the rest of their lives, of thinking or acting otherwise than as their schoolmasters would have wished. . . . Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible.Even if all are miserable, all will believe themselves happy, because the government will tell them that they are so."
Bertrand Russell[1], The Impact of Science on Society, Simon and Schuster, New York, 1953
