The greatest triumphs of propaganda have been accomplished, not by doing something, but by refraining from doing. Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth.

– Aldous Huxley

This quote highlights Huxley’s observation that the most effective form of propaganda is not necessarily through active manipulation or distortion of information, but rather through selective omission and silence regarding certain truths. It emphasizes the power of controlling what information is made available to the public and how it is presented, as a means of shaping people’s beliefs and perceptions.

ALT-TEXT
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Through this profoundly unsettling yet dazzlingly imaginative vision, Huxley masterfully warned of stability gained at the price of human dignity and sanctity of life itself, implying that oppression can be more effective when delivered through pleasure rather than fear or pain. The novel leaves an indelible mark as a prophecy that remains strikingly prescient in scrutinizing societal control.
