Chapter 2
--"pale as death"
--the Director was torturing the babies and training their instincts
--giving the babies reflexes that were unalterably conditioned
--didn't want the babies to like books or flowers: books because they could decondition one of their reflexes, the flowers: unknown
--flowers: they were once compelled to like them but their love of nature kept them out of factories & kept them from transport
--it was decided to abolish the love of nature
--"We condition the masses to hate the country but simultaneously we condition then to love all country sports," concluded the Director (pg.23)
--tried teaching the children in their sleep and it didn't work
--need to teach moral education
--they repeat what they've heard/learned in their sleep
--hypnopaedia: the greatest moralizing and socializing force of all time
