Most people would rather die than think; in fact, they do so. Bertrand Russell

"If the resistance of the counter culture fails, I think there will be nothing in store for us but what anti-Utopians Huxley and Orwell have forecast--though I have no doubt that these dismal despotisms will be far more stable and effective than their prophets have forseen. For they will be equipped with techniques of inner-manipulation as unobtrusively fine as gossamer. Above all, the capacity of our emerging technocratic paradise to denature the imagination by appropriating to itself the whole meaning of Reason, Reality, Progress, and Knowledge will render it impossible for men to give any name to their bothersomely unfulfilled potentialities but that of madness. And for such madness, humanitarian therapies will be generously provided."
