"In a way, the world-view of the Party imposed itself most successfully on those who were incapable of understanding it.  They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality, because their minds could not process the enormity of what was being demanded of them, and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening.  By lack of understanding, they remained sane.  They simply swallowed everything, and what they swallowed left behind no lasting residue, just as a grain of corn will pass undigested through the body of a bird."  - George Orwell
