Aldous Huxley’s letter to George Orwell comparing predictions in Brave New World and 1984
1984 v. Brave New World www.lettersofnote.com | March 6, 2012
Huxley refers to the “ultimate revolution”, which “aims at total subversion of the individual’s psychology and physiology”. Also he refers to the techniques of “infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis”, and “suggesting people into loving their servitude”.
The letter was written in 1949 and he predicted that “the world’s rulers” will discover how efficient these techniques are within the next generation.
So by that timing we’re already deep into it. Most people are trapped in whole lifetimes of passive obedience and acceptance of every government policy, including mass drugging. Change agents in both the public and private sectors have conditioned us through education, mass news media and the sadistic entertainment industry to accept moral relativism and the degraded status of human beings.
Our rights are replaced by laws that elevate the supposed “rights” of the earth, of bugs, trees and predators – in order to seize control of resources – from ordinary people – and by war policies and “anti-terrorist” policies imposed in the name of “security”.
