Pretty scary, though. Impressive that you had the energy and care to talk to someone like that. I think my brain would have shrunk to a peanut and turned me into a clapping monkey. You are made of stronger stuff than I, my friend.
I feel like that just highlights the beauty of the work itself, and how accurate a reflection it is on our society. How many of us have NEVER felt so burned out by the struggle that A Brave New World doesn’t seem like a relief? I think a person’s response to the concept has a lot to do with how they view the world, and also how the world shapes people differently.
I once had a multiple hour long discussion with someone who claimed it’s clearly a utopia… Free drugs, sex without consequences, guaranteed job,…
Freedom is for suckers apparently.
Maybe it was the same guy xD
