The only people who had access to any knowledge of the past were the ones who had the power: the World Controllers. Thus, they were able to create a stable society.

You can make them do whatever you want with the power of your voice; you just have to make them think that they'll like it or gain something from it. There are countless examples of this that are spoken and written. Almost all chain letters use this principle.

"You see, he does not believe I am sick! And what can one do? If a physician of high standing, and one's own husband, assures friends and relatives that there is really nothing the matter with one but temporary nervous depression -- a slight hysterical tendency -- what is one to do?"
