“The third problem is man himself. Man has got to take charge of man. That means, remember, that some men have to take charge of the rest- which is another reason for cashing in on it as soon as one can. You and I want to be the people who do the taking charge, not the ones who are taken charge of. Quite.”
"What sort of thing do you have in mind?"
“Quite simple and obvious things at first- sterilization of the unfit, liquidation of backward races (we don't want any dead weights), selective breeding. Then real education, including pre-natal education. By real education I mean one that has no 'take-it-or-leave-it' nonsense. A real education makes the patient what it wants infallibly: whatever he or his parents try to do about it. Of course, it'll have to be mainly psychological at first. But we'll get on to biochemical conditioning in the end and direct manipulation of the brain."
"It's the real thing at last. A new type of man: and it's people like you who've got to begin to make him."
"That's my trouble. Don't think it's false modesty: but I haven't yet seen how I can contribute."
"No, but we have. You are what we need; a trained sociologist with a radically realistic outlook, not afraid of responsibility. Also a sociologist who can write."
“You don't mean you want me to write up all this?"
"No. We want you to write it down- to camouflage it. Only for the present of course. Once the thing gets going we shan't have to bother about the great heart of the British public. We'll make the great heart what we want it to be. But in the meantime it does make a difference how things are put.”
C. S. Lewis That Hideous Strength 1946
Sounds a bit like Ellsworth Toohey in Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead.
