You know, this is the Catholic trick — they nail you when you’re young and brainwash you, and then they’ve got you for the rest of your life. In actual fact, do this sort of thing — but brainwash people with the truth“

Copyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork"Children are taught in their geography books, when too young to apprehend aright the meaning of such things, that the world is a great globe revolving around the Sun, and the story is repeated continuously, year by year, till they reach maturity, at which time they generally become so absorbed in other matters as to be indifferent as to whether the teaching be true or not, and, as they hear of nobody contradicting it, they presume that it must be the correct thing, if not to believe at least to receive it as a fact. They thus tacitly give their assent to a theory which, if it had first been presented to them at what are called ‘years of discretion,’ they would at once have rejected. The consequences of evil-teaching, whether in religion or in science, are far more disastrous than is generally supposed, especially in a luxurious laisser faire age like our own. The intellect becomes weakened and the conscience seared."

We have yet to develop an education system that is not an indoctrination system. We are sorry, but this is the best we can do. What is taught here is a mixture of common prejudices and the decisions of this particular culture. The slightest glance at history shows how unstable these must be. You are taught by people who were able to fit into a thought pattern set by their predecessors. It is a self-sustaining system. Those among you who are more robust and individual than others are encouraged to leave the classroom and find ways to educate yourselves – to form your own judgments. Those who stay must constantly remember that they are being shaped and patterned to fit the narrow and special needs of this particular society.""
Doris Lessing
Copyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork"There are, after all, two ways of exercising power, so to speak. One is the old way, the one we all know: oppression.
We saw that under Stalinism and the like.
And then, here in the West, I’ve come to know another form that I hadn’t really thought about before.
That is seduction.
Seduction is something truly insidious. Because at least you can defend yourself against paternalism and tyranny.
Then you remain a subject.
It may crush you; it may kill you. You may have to spend your whole life under terrible conditions.
But you remain a subject. You can say: “I am, here I stand, I cannot do otherwise.”
Someone who has been seduced stands there and has no idea where they are.
They protect their seducers.
“Oh, then we can’t take our next vacation on a cruise ship after all. And how are we supposed to manage now that gas keeps getting more expensive?”—that’s how the demands of the seduced person come across.
And someone like that will, of course, always contribute to maintaining the system of seduction.
And that’s why turning people into the seduced is a much surer way of securing power than oppressing them.
The Church, by the way, knew this all along."

Government education, in turn, is supposed to be evidence of the state's goodness and its concern for our well-being. The real explanation is less flattering. If the government's propaganda can take root as children grow up, those kids will be no threat to the state apparatus. They'll fasten the chains to their own ankles."
