===Education===
Russell has presented ideas on the possible means of control of education in case of scientific dictatorship governments, of the kind of this excerpt taken from Chapter II "General Effects of Scientific Technique" of "The Impact of Science on society":<ref>{{Cite book |last=Russell |first=Bertrand |title=The Impact of Science on Society |publisher=New York, AMS Press |year=1953 |chapter=General Effects of Scientific Technique |chapter-url=https://it.scribd.com/document/558107312/The-Impact-of-Science-on-Society-by-Bertrand-Russell |access-date=10 August 2022 |archive-date=18 January 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230118175706/https://it.scribd.com/document/558107312/The-Impact-of-Science-on-Society-by-Bertrand-Russell |url-status=dead }}</ref>
{{blockquote|This subject will make great strides when it is taken up by scientists under a scientific dictatorship. Anaxagoras maintained that snow is black, but no one believed him. The social psychologists of the future will have a number of classes of school children on whom they will try different methods of producing an unshakable conviction that snow is black. Various results will soon be arrived at. First, that the influence of home is obstructive. Second, that not much can be done unless indoctrination begins before the age of ten. Third, that verses set to music and repeatedly intoned are very effective. Fourth, that the opinion that snow is white must be held to show a morbid taste for eccentricity. But I anticipate. It is for future scientists to make these maxims precise and discover exactly how much it costs per head to make children believe that snow is black, and how much less it would cost to make them believe it is dark grey. Although this science will be diligently studied, it will be rigidly confined to the governing class. The populace will not be allowed to know how its convictions were generated. When the technique has been perfected, every government that has been in charge of education for a generation will be able to control its subjects securely without the need of armies or policemen. As yet there is only one country which has succeeded in creating this politician's paradise. The social effects of scientific technique have already been many and important, and are likely to be even more noteworthy in the future. Some of these effects depend upon the political and economic character of the country concerned; others are inevitable, whatever this character may be.}}
He pushed his visionary scenarios even further into details, in Chapter III "Scientific Technique in an Oligarchy" of the same book,<ref>{{Cite book |last=Russell |first=Bertrand |title=The Impact of Science on Society |publisher=New York, AMS Press |year=1953 |chapter=Scientific Technique in an Oligarchy |chapter-url=https://it.scribd.com/document/558107312/The-Impact-of-Science-on-Society-by-Bertrand-Russell |access-date=10 August 2022 |archive-date=18 January 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230118175706/https://it.scribd.com/document/558107312/The-Impact-of-Science-on-Society-by-Bertrand-Russell |url-status=dead }}</ref> stating as an example: {{blockquote| In future such failures are not likely to occur where there is dictatorship. 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.}}
