That type of person can sometimes be described as being intellectually honest. That you think there is a type of knowledge that should not be learned is revealing, thank you for being so candid. The knowledge that there are masses of people such as yourself, unwilling to challenge your own beliefs, takes much of the mystery out of the success propaganda has in our society.There's always a certain type of person interested in that kind of knowledge.To anyone who is interested in knowledge, look up my claims about the Haavara Agreement, and do an internet search for "jews declare war on germany in 1933".
Edward Bernays, Propaganda
In theory, every citizen makes up his mind on
public questions and matters of private conduct. In
practice, if all men had to study for themselves the
abstruse economic, political, and ethical data involved
in every question, they would find it impossible to
come to a conclusion about anything. We have
voluntarily agreed to let an invisible government
sift the data and high-spot the outstanding issues so
that our field of choice shall be narrowed to practical
proportions. From our leaders and the media they
use to reach the public, we accept the evidence and
the demarcation of issues bearing upon public questions;
from some ethical teacher, be it a minister, a
favorite essayist, or merely prevailing opinion, we
accept a standardized code of social conduct to which
we conform most of the time.
