I always believed that what Huxley described in Brave New World was not only more pernicious, but also what was already actually happening. That’s not to say that more Orwellian forebodings are not/have not been coming to pass, but I fear more people are paying attention to Orwell on the one hand, while completely oblivious to Huxley on the other, precisely because they are already consumed with distractions.
For a while, i have been concerned with this exact matter. The problem is, i fear, Because governments nowadays know Huxley was right. The government and Authority has taken into account man’s infinite appetite for distraction. they Perpetuate fear towards an Orwellian society and we are so distracted by that because they’ve propagated The future Orwell predicted, as essentially, the only dystopian society, while fulfilling Huxley’s fears. They are controlling by not only distracting in the way Huxley foretold, But by misdirecting us to believe they want Orwellian Control. This photoset might help Other realize this.
