It is rather ironic that in this “age of information”, we are more confused than ever…
It had been commonly thought in the past, and not without basis, that
tyranny could only exist on the condition that the people were kept
illiterate and ignorant of their oppression. To recognise that one was
“oppressed” meant they must first have an idea of what was “freedom”,
and if one were allowed the “privilege” to learn how to read, this
discovery was inevitable.If education of the masses could turn the majority of a population literate, it was thought that the higher ideas, the sort of “dangerous ideas” that Mustapha Mond for instance expresses in “The Brave New World”, would quickly organise the masses and revolution against their “controllers” would be inevitable. In other words, knowledge is freedom, and you cannot enslave those who learn how to “think”.
However, it hasn’t exactly played out that way has it?
