Pavlovian Truth

“We had the most incredible example in recent years by what can be
done by efficient methods of suggestion and persuasion in the form of
Hitler. Anyone who has read, for example, (Sounds like Bulloch’s)
Life of Hitler, comes forth with this horrified admiration for this
infernal genius, who really understood human weaknesses I think almost
better than anybody and who exploited them with all the resources then
available. I mean he knew everything, for example, he knew
intuitively this Pavlovian truth that condition installed in a state
of stress or fatigue goes much deeper than conditioning installed at
other times.” -Aldous Huxley; The Ultimate Revoloution
