Edwin Grant Conklin | Dictators seek to control men’s thoughts

“Dictators seek to control men’s thoughts as well as their bodies and so they attempt to dictate science, education and religion. But dictated education is usually propaganda, dictated history is often mythology, dictated science is pseudo-science.”

Edwin Grant Conklin | From Address as retiring president before the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Indianapolis (27 Dec 1937). Published in 'Science and Ethics', Science (31 Dec 1937), 86, No. 2244, 601.

“Diktatoren wollen die Gedanken der Menschen ebenso kontrollieren wie ihre Körper und versuchen daher, Wissenschaft, Bildung und Religion zu diktieren. Aber diktierte Bildung ist meist Propaganda, diktierte Geschichte ist oft Mythologie, diktierte Wissenschaft ist Pseudowissenschaft.“
