The screenshot below is from a post that inspired this note. It containts quotes from Betrand Russell's "Impact of Science on Society".
I have not read the book but found some more quotes that demonstrate uncanny prescience :
It may be hoped that in time anybody will be able to persuade anybody of anything if he can catch the patient young and is provided by the State with money and equipment.
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. . . . 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 gray.
Fichte laid it down that education should aim at destroying free will, so that, after pupils have left school, they shall be incapable, throughout the rest of their lives, of thinking or acting otherwise than as their schoolmasters would have wished. But in his day this was an unattainable ideal: … 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.
Children will, as in Plato’s Republic, be taken from their mothers and reared by professional nurses. Gradually, by selective breeding, the congenital differences between rulers and ruled will increase until they become almost different species. A revolt of the plebs would become as unthinkable as an organized insurrection of sheep against the practice of eating mutton.
In addition to the above statements being intuitively plausible, ample empirical evidence of the success of this program now abounds around us (June 2020). Then, why does the elite global total State appear to stand against eugenics, and racialist discrimination and racialist genocide? Does it arise from a modern widespread recognition of human rights and equal human dignity? Or, is there a more sinister motive at play? Read on.
Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger (once a socialist and eventually a cultural Marxist, aka progressive) and Adolf Hitler (national socialist and fascist) are associated with the left and the right, today, by the right and the left, respectively. They had one thing in common : a love for State-mandated or State-subsidized social Darwinist eugenics, i.e. the elimination of what they viewed as undesirable characteristics from the human race, whether base on race, culture or bodily ability or fitness, and the perfection of the human race into one super-species.
Do the global elites of the modern world total State oppose eugenics? If so, why?
The elite powers that be also truly believe in the premise of social Darwinism, which underlies both Sanger's and Hitler's beliefs. They believe in it so fully that they recoil in fear at the prospect of widespread increase in logical and rational faculty, bodily self-sufficiency, etc., as they suspect would be the case, given their beliefs, if eugenics had free reign. Their opposition to racialist genocide, stems not from the Christian idea of equal human dignity. Instead, their opposition to racialism stems from their fear of losing out on the prospect of creating and growing a slavish, non-thinking, diseased, debt-ridden underclass, whose existence on life-support, in a comatose vegetative state, is essential to their power. Their whole program of K-12 indoctrination and propaganda throughout college, media, etc., fiat money, inflation and debt-slavery, nutrition and vaccination mandates and monopoly, etc. is all geared toward creating this class of close-to-death-but-not-quite-dead mere existence. In their minds, truly believing the same premises that Hitler and Sanger believed, they were horrified about extermination of their plantation and conveniently clothed their program in the garb of human rights and dignity.
The response of the Church : a new Creation (a new type of Human Being), reconciling all to God and to each other
Gal 6 : 15 : “For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is anything; but a new creation is everything!”
2 Cor 5 : 16 - 19 : “From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view; even though we once knew Christ from a human point of view, we know him no longer in that way. So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us.”
Ephesians 2:11-22 : “So then, remember that at one time you Gentiles by birth, called “the uncircumcision” by those who are called “the circumcision”—a physical circumcision made in the flesh by human hands— remember that you were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace; in his flesh he has made both groups into one and has broken down the dividing wall, that is, the hostility between us. He has abolished the law with its commandments and ordinances, that he might create in himself one new humanity in place of the two, thus making peace, and might reconcile both groups to God in one body[b] through the cross, thus putting to death that hostility through it. So he came and proclaimed peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near; for through him both of us have access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone. In him the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built together spiritually[e] into a dwelling place for God”
Col 3 : 10 - 11 : “and [you] have clothed yourselves with the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge according to the image of its creator. In that renewal there is no longer Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and free; but Christ is all and in all!”
The Church stands against any collectivist discrimination, of which racism is but one example. It does this on the strong, salutary and true foundation of the equal and inviolable dignity of every human being. It also, simultaneously believes in the perfection of the human race, as a whole, not by elimination of some (as the eugenicists believe), but by providing the possibility of reconciliation of all to God, and the subsequent possibility of new Creation of each individual and of all creation. In a true sense, we reject the destructive false Gospel of eugenicism and embrace the true Gospel of the creation of a new and perfected person, in Jesus Christ.
