Bertrand Russell, Scientific Dictatorship, and Mass Psychology
Promethean Action analysts review Bertrand Russell's 1951 work, "The Impact of Science on Society," which predicted a future scientific dictatorship. Russell described using education and propaganda to produce "unshakable convictions" in children, such as the idea that snow is black. The hosts compare these historical theories to modern educational initiatives like Common Core and the influence of Bill Gates.
