What did you think of “Brave New World”?I was personally immersed overall into its world. For a dystopian future it was rather pacifistic, except for the gas bombs. Like for example they didn’t shut down John for protesting and throwing away the soma outside of the hospital. Also they didn’t execute anyone, they just moved them far away from the civilization.Also I have a question, who exactly was Ford? Was he a scientist, a rebel or a dictator? How did he swift the world into this? How did he get the government to ban all media before him?
>>24840335>Also they didn’t execute anyone, they just moved them far away from the civilizationYes, anon. And your childhood pet went to live on a farm.
>>24840335>who exactly was Ford?Henry Ford the automobile mogul behind Ford Motors car company
>>24840338What are you basing this on? We see one of the colonies in the early part of the book. It's where Savage comes from
>>24840341I mean in the book..>>24840345Malpais?
I think it was pretty good, and I like how the personality flaws that made people dissidents to the regime made it so they were incapable of properly rebelling. Holzkopf or whatever his name is is a Chad Alpha+ who feels out of place, but because of his residual conditioning giggles like a child at the idea of family. Bernard Marx is just seething that he's an ugly manlet, and as soon as he's granted status he's happy being a normie again. John is pretty pretentious. He didn't really understand Shakespeare any more than he understood the highly scientific book he grew up with, and his monk shit and self harming stuff was purely performative. He could've happily lived on the reservation and remained on the reservation if he was serious about resisting the urge to coom and to be religious. But even there, his mother was basically a druggie and was fucking her health with alcohol and easy sex, more of a slave of her impulses in tribal society than she ever was in the Brave New World. Seeing that degradation influenced him more than the coom shit in civilized society. One thing the book got right was gooning and pornography. Aldous Huxley accurately predicted that interracial porn and sexualizing nogs would be the choice for gooners, when the characters are basically gooning in the movie theaters, it's always black gangbangs for some reason. >>24840345The speculative island that Mustafa Mond talks about is different to the tribal society, I'm pretty sure.
>>24840345>What are you basing this on?Logic.
>>24840425No kek
>>24840435>we maintain an island for potentially dangerous dissidents in our finely tuned society where nothing is left to chance Like I said: your childhood pet is happily living its best life on a nice farm where it can run around free playing with other animals in big open spaces
>>24840335>For a dystopian future it was rather pacifisticthat was the point of the book my dude
>>24840391>and his monk shit and self harming stuff was purely performativePerformative to whom? He fucked off to nowhereland to do it by himself and still got found, leading to his eventual suicide.
>>24841303Yeah performative is the wrong word. He was a nutcase, he flipped out all the time, and he had a weird sadomasochistic perspective towards suffering. Like when he goes on about torturing himself out in the desert with a smile on his face. It was less about genuinely trying to find enlightenment or live a decent life, and more him being traumatized at how pathetic his mother was growing up. I fully understand his suicide at the end, he seen what happened to his mother and knew that he was starting down the same path.
>>24840349>I mean in the book..Henry Ford the automobile mogul behind Ford Motors car company
>>24841303The book didn’t describe him doing that. Did you pick up a clue by yourself?>>24842285How did he became so influential then.
>>24842125>It was less about genuinely trying to find enlightenment or live a decent life, and more him being traumatized at how pathetic his mother was growing upNo, it was about not wanting to experience a sanitized life of hedonism and shallowness, buttressed by literal brainwashing and drug abuse. Did you even read the book?>>24842343Fuck are you talking about bitch
>>24842647Enough time has passed since BNW and 1984 were written that the current generation of readers sees BNW as not that bad and 1984 as unrealistic. They're hopeless.
>>24840335freedom freedom freedom freedom freedom freedom freedom
>>24842343>How did he became so influential thenBecause he pioneered the assembly line and that's the basis for how people are made and their civilization is run, retard. Hence turning crosses into Ts for the Model T. Are you the same dumbass who thought Helmholtz and Bernard were really being sent to a parallel utopia for freethinkers? Lol.
