I don’t even know what is going on here, but I find an overlapping quote, if you will, from BR’s SCIENCE AND SOCIETY:
“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.” – p62
... so where would you suppose the sentiments of BR himself lie on this issue?
Bertrand Russell was an Atheist....so I “think” he thought of humans in “just animal” terms, in the Wundtian sense.....the masses are dangerous, if not herded, controlled and culled and drugged. The ideas and perceptions of the masses have to be totally controlled (Most humans are naturally dumb) and the gifted elite have to guide and control them.
All Postmodernists are irrational, and contradictions are all over the map.
Utopian Marxists want to make “Happy” slaves.....people that are so ignorant of the concepts of freedom, that they accept their “place” assigned to them by their masters.....Like in “Brave New World”. Happiness is an artificial construct devoid of Reality. They take “happy” pills.
