"Imagine
yourself if you can, becoming conscious that you are
gradually losing your manhood; that your mind is rapidly
deteriorating so that you are no longer capable of thinking
clearly; unable to plan your future actions. Your resistance
is becoming so weakened that you are no longer master of
yourself. In short, you are rapidly developing into a moron,
a robot, a zombie, readily subject to the dictates of
others...""D

"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."
Bertrand Russell's
1953 book The Impact of Science on Society
