The most useful area in which to to “ dumb down “ a society is within the sphere  of history.  George  Orwell warned of the dangers of an authoritarian regime rewriting history, but what need is there to rewrite it if much of the public is uninformed about it in general? Utopianism thrives where history is unknown because  history is where we find a basis for real world expectations concerning human political and social life. Without it any leader can make any outlandish promise to the people and sound convincing . The sky is the limit.
