A BRAVE NEW WORLD

doubleplusgood poll, brother. doubleplusgood.

green pinned.

I would say its a dialectic between Huxley and Orwell.

Anything, as long as it's not Tom of Finland.

I first read that as a diabetic, was confused.

We need some music for the new world!

It's shifting from Brave New World to 1984 with influences of Fahrenheit 451.

I far preferred Huxley to Orwell, probably because I found Huxley's future to be so much scarier.

I don't know what I envision the future to be, but I do very well know what I DON'T want it to be.

Like Road Warrior.

I'd say a merger of the two. We can already see both of them happening at once.

At least Huxley's had an Island for people like us

Thunder Dome.!!

Great thread, OP! 5 *'s

I'm thinking a mix of "Road Warrior" and the movie
"Prometheus"--because this ebola thing is actually
a DNA Re-set by ET's!
My "Take"
Thread: Real-life "Close Encounter of The 3rd Kind" in Africa --then, an Ebola outbreak! Updated 12-10-2014! (Page 2)
Just sayin!

:Itwasebola:

I never read Huxley.
Quick synopsis please?

I think what's coming will be a hodgepodge

no, no, not another poll...

1984 to bring the boot down....later, after the culling, Brave New World.

No free thought, no family, no creation, science, synthesis, etc. No progress.

Everyone is placated by drugs and barely anyone thinks twice. People's social classes are determined before they are born. People are brainwashed in their sleep. No free will or capacity for humanity.

Yet, for a book written nearly a century ago, it got a lot of things pretty close...

It was fucking incredibly close to what we're seeing. I mean the science he described in 1943 was damn close to what we're seeing in genetics labs and with big pharma and the class systems and such.

I'm reading Island now, which was his happier Utopian vision.

Yeah, the first time I read Brave New World it blew my mind to pieces. I had to read it again right away just to come down properly off the awesomeness

I'll go with Animatrix/2000 AD.

It's already a Brave New World....it is NOW ....NOT the future

Soma is SSRI drugs, disabling your ability to emote

The divide between rich and poor is wider than ever now

After 'The Event' those left will see the split between rich and poor complete, the elite have their sentries in every country, ready to pick up the reigns of power over those who will choose to give it to them, and there will be the survivors who found their own way and choose not to give their power away, they will be shot on sight.

What we have now is iron hand in velvet glove, it's been this way since the 50's and 60's when western governments started to see a back lash from what it considers its 'own people', on with the velvet gloves...tickle your belly sir, there's a good boy, now just get a good firm grip on my teet....there ya go, it's all better now, no need to fear, to want, to love, to think, i can do all that for you, shhhhh time for sleep.

Fuck off, i see right through and will SAVAGE the hand that feeds, if i didn't know better than to chew iron, so i "become like water my friend", and we all know the reaction of water meeting iron, any attempts to galvanise will always meet with failure and only set in place as an illusionary cover measure, they cannot change now, they are destined for oblivion, and their fear of it and therefore action only seals their fate tighter.



No need to eat the rich, the rich eat themselves, you got to lose it all to gain it all, like a monkey that just can't let go of the nuts that slow him down as he runs from the lion



"Time to die"

OBAMA rides a unicorn.
YAAAAAAAYY !!......
