5: If I Were The Devil...

Bertrand Russell and Scientific Dictatorship

Referencing a series by Promethean Action, the hosts examine Bertrand Russell’s 1951 work, "The Impact of Science on Society." Russell described a future "scientific dictatorship" where mass psychology and propaganda would be used to indoctrinate children from a young age. The segment highlights Russell's chilling suggestion that education could be used to convince people of obvious falsehoods, such as "snow is black."
