Wasnt Huxleys Brave new World a Utopian story we all want? ..so if we get it, isnt that a good thing? 🙂
Discussion
No. Most stories about a "Utopia" have a nasty twist so that in the end it is hell again...
whats the hell part?
Definitely not!!
There is nothing Utopian in Brave New World.
It’s terrifying!
why?
oh, maybe because they produce ppl and harm them to end up as worse than they could be.
if they took that relatively unrealistic part away - because why would you harm the production quality if you can sort them afterwards ...whata the bad parts?
its a long time ago, so maybe i just dont remember the bad parts anymore 🤷♀️
Without giving away too much of the plot, the manipulation.
If you read it when you were younger I would definitely recommend reading it again. It’s fascinating to compare it to modern times.
i dont remember if they said anything about taxes, but manipulation or trying to manipulate is a normal part of life. there will always be scammers or also just marketing ppl trying to advertise and convince others... some because they really believe it and some because they want to make money... and some because both 🙂
the overall world though - from what i remember felt quite utopian and the "native" seemed to not be able to cope with modern values 🤷♀️
...even though, a world based on bitcoin wpuld be even better
