“It has frequently been noticed that the surest long-term result of brainwashing is a pecular kind of cynisim-an absolute refusal to believe in the truth of anything, no matter how well this truth may be established. In other words, the result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lies will now be accepted as truth, and the truth be defamed as lies, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world-and the category of truth vs. falsehood is among the mental means to this end-is being destroyed.”
