i found this quote interesting
"In the course of the last four centuries quite a number of people sailed from the Old World to the New. But neither their departure nor the returning flow of food and raw materials could solve the problems of the Old World. Similarly the shipping of a few surplus humans to Mars (at a cost, for transportation and development, of several million dollars a head) will do nothing to solve the problem of mounting population pressures on our own planet. Unsolved, that problem will render insoluble all our other problems. Worse still, it will create conditions in which individual freedom and the social decencies of the democratic way of life will become impossible, almost unthinkable. Not all dictatorships arise in the same way. There are many roads to Brave New World; but perhaps the straightest and the broadest of them is the road we are traveling today, the road that leads through gigantic numbers and accelerating increases. Let us briefly review the reasons for this close correlation between too many people, too rapidly multiplying, and the formulation of authoritarian philosophies, the rise of totalitarian systems of government."

looks like if you are reading on amethyst, best to switch phone horizontel or else formatting is wonky.
A lot of people here on nostr have probably read Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. However, I imagine many people have not read his follow-up non fiction book: Brave New World Revisited. It is a short non-fiction reflection on the world as Aldous Huxley saw it in terms of what was coming true from his famous science fiction novel. Brave New World was written in 1932, while Brave New World Revisited was written in 1958. I found this follow-up piece to be fascinating. Huxley's writing is masterful and much of what he reflects on is relevant for today.
I plan to post a chapter from the book each week via Yakihonne or Habla. Here is the first entry, please read and discuss I'd love to see some nice back and forth in the comments.

Brave New World is worth re reading in these times. written in 1932, Huxley is a validated, brilliant futurist.
I assume incompetence unless more reason not to
