Hidden Environment

"I think the subject which will be of most importance politically is
 mass psychology.... Its importance has been enormously increased by the
 growth of modern methods of propaganda. Of these the most influential is
 what is called 'education.' Religion plays a part, though a
 diminishing one; the press, the cinema, and the radio play an increasing part....
 It may be hoped that in time anybody will be able to persuade anybody
 of anything if he can catch the patient young and is provided by the
 State with money and equipment."

"Although this science will be diligently studied, it will be rigidly
 confined to the governing class. The populace will not be allowed to
 know how its convictions were generated. When the technique has been
 perfected, every government that has been in charge of education for a
 generation will be able to control its subjects securely without the need of
 armies or policemen."
- Bertrand Russell, "The Impact of Science on Society", 1953 

"Scientific societies are as yet in their infancy. . . . It is to be
 expected that advances in physiology and psychology will give governments
 much more control over individual mentality than they now have even in
 totalitarian countries. Fitche laid it down that 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."

"Gradually, by selective breeding, the congenital differences between
 rulers and ruled will increase until they become almost different
 species. A revolt of the plebs would become as unthinkable as an organized
 insurrection of sheep against the practice of eating mutton."
- Bertrand Russell, "The Impact of Science on Society", 1953, pg 49-50

"In like manner, the scientific rulers will provide one kind of
 education for ordinary men and women, and another for those who are to become
 holders of scientific power. Ordinary men and women will be expected to
 be docile, industrious, punctual, thoughtless, and contented. Of these
 qualities, probably contentment will be considered the most important.
 In order to produce it, all the researches of psycho-analysis,
 behaviourism, and biochemistry will be brought into play.... All the boys and
 girls will learn from an early age to be what is called 'co-operative,'
 i.e., to do exactly what everybody is doing. Initiative will be
 discouraged in these children, and insubordination, without being punished,
 will be scientifically trained out of them."

"Except for the one matter of loyalty to the World State and to their
 own order, members of the governing class will be encouraged to be
 adventurous and full of initiative...."

"On those rare occasions, when a boy or girl who has passed the age at
 which it is usual to determine social status shows such marked ability
 as to seem the intellectual equal of the rulers, a difficult situation
 will arise, requiring serious consideration. If the youth is content to
 abandon his previous associates and to throw in his lot
 whole-heartedly with the rulers, he may, after suitable tests, be promoted, but if he
 shows any regrettable solidarity with his previous associates, the
 rulers will reluctantly conclude that there is nothing to be done with him
 except to send him to the lethal chamber before his ill-disciplined
 intelligence has had time to spread revolt. This will be a painful duty
 to the rulers, but I think they will not shrink from performing it."
- Bertrand Russell, "The Scientific Outlook", 1931
