  • BRAVE NEW WORLD written by Aldous Huxley in 1931 is another take at a future society. It is different from 1984. SCARIER?

Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and  EpsilonVaccinations into the embryos determine what type of embryo it will become. Of course the ALPHAS are the leaders and the EPSILONS are those who do menial labor. The others are injected too and form the basic bones of the society. There is no war. Everyone lives happily.So which world of fiction might you have found more to your liking? 1984 or Brave New World.Some things written many decades ago hit close home here. Very uncomfy to find that the creative minds of those of the long ago could foresee such a future. Isn't it?  less

Ignorance is a basic foundation for the new nation.A dumb electorate who doesn't know any better. See how ideal it is for pols who don't like to be thwarted or blocked or criticized or challenged?Now the very wealthy will have their private schools. All educators will be politically approved. The curriculum will be rigid wherever the "learning" occurs. No deviation means no arguing. No one gets any lip because questions are no longer allowed. Questioning implies only bad bad things. Acceptance without objection is the only thing that will be allowed. Otherwise? Use your imagination. Once you get to otherwise you will never been seen again.See how simply life is going to be for thee?. Bring it on. Simplify. Live the good life. SIGH.  less

Is that not a twist of logic without fair anywhere there?I dunno.Ostensibly previously priorly we used to elect those whom we wanted to represent us in government. That was a given and no one ever questioned it. In fact we the people took GREAT PRIDE once upon a time.Then trump along and blew that all up. Now the republicans are seeing to it that elections that we used to rely on will be eliminated. NEW AND IMPROVED.All on our behalf and for our own good of course. No one ever does anything that isn't the behalf of whom they do it for. If it seems that in fact they don't do it for us they do to us that is an illusion and out delusion.All pols are sacrosanct and holy and as such are perfect and can do no wrong. Voting futurely will be by appointment only. The voting will already be done for you. All you have to do is just sign it. Isn't that awesome good? Even great? Progress.  less
