  • Resumen

  • Welcome to part two of our double bill on famous dystopia! In this episode Dan Holder and I delve into the 1931 novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. While disecting Huxley's vision of a dys(u?)topia, we chat about:

    • How this should've been an essay
    • Is this even dystopia?
    • Boring mantra and cliches; and how they are the death of thought
    • The passing of fads vs art
    • Hedonistic "happiness"
    • Ignorance of what you might want
    • Biological manipulation
    • Side effects of technology
    • External vs Internal reasons for doing things
    • Chestertons fence
    • Scientific "arrogance"
    • The ego when it is asked to elaborate on a conviction
    • Disagreeability in thinkers

    There is also spoilers for the movie Gattica at 40:05.
