great video man!! could you make one about King, Warrior, Magician, lover??
@J my guy you don’t have a bank account and debit card? Or you have a bank account and no debit card? Do you keep all your money in cash? What if you get robbed or a natural disaster strikes and your fiat paper representation is lost or damaged beyond recognition? I’m just trying to understand your beef
10:36 "...the hypnotizing dangers of television...dangers which now apply to computers, smart-phones, and any other technology which turns the human being into a mesmerized spectator of a screen." Presumably, this would apply to YT channels broadcasting warnings about these stated dangers as well. Can the disease also provide the cure? All power has the potential to be used for "good" or "evil". A hypnotist can also cure.
can you make a video on how to find meaning and fulfillment on a dystopian prison planet? i get really depressed by whats happening around me, i start feeling like death will come as a relief and i have a feeling that im not going to survive all of this for long being strictly against the new normal, refusing to obey as much as possible. i need some light, you have to words to ease the horror.
for the ones that resist will find themselves at the Lighthouse! #5GISNOTNEW!

" None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." Goethe
One of my favorite quotes that summarizes these modern days.
We live in a unique era as we are approaching the junction which will define the fate of mankind and the future of our variety of consciousness: deep inside we know it will go extinct if we take the wrong path, where the slaves and their masters are taking us that is. To those who are awake, now more than ever each of our own deeds and choices has a profound impact on the unfolding of coming events. Although you may tell yourself you wish you'd been alive at another time, does it sometimes feel like it was your own decision to be born during these strange days?
@@dalesco4205 Funny it does feel somehow someway in some cosnic sense I actually signed off on this bullshit
@@gt-gu7rb Thank you for expressing something that I had never been made aware of, but now you have made me realize that this is exactly how I truly feel as well.
Your notion of freedom is useless nonsense.
You are free when you can act according to your desires.
In dictatorships you need courage to fight evil; in the free world you need courage to see evil.
Exceptionally spoken !
Or uncommon sense.
I wonder If a balanced state exists? If yes, then for how long does it prevail? And do we have practical examples of such ideals?
We now live in a Dictatorships.
They no longer need to hide the evil.
Extremely inciteful words, much respect to you.
Huxley's relationship with the subject matter was closer to home than some may realise as his brother was a founding member of the British eugenics society and coined the term transhumanism.
😮😮😮😮😮
The Eugenics people are not the ones to be worried about even though they have their downfalls and evil aspects in their ideologies.
There’s others way way above them and even those eugenic anglos are their enemies and against what they want..western civilization is literally the only stronghold left and it’s been under attack a long time and the long game has played out and almost complete as we may be in the last generation that actually can and wants to hold it together..They think their far out ideas will improve society but in reality it plays right into their hands.
Left Wing Malthusian politics are a exclusive domain of all left wing control ideology care of Karl Marx and Critical Theory.
And first UNESCO's Secretary General
Huxley also stated, in his final lecture before his death, that he *agreed* with the society he described in the book.
"We need to change the name of eugenics because the Nazis have tarnished the term. I propose transhumanism." Is the quote (or damned near enough) of Julian Huxley's you are referring to.
“In a free society, when a law is unjust, you are not only right to disobey it, IT IS YOUR DUTY.”
“Medical science has made such tremendous progress
that there is hardly a healthy human left.”

the public has no burning desire for freedom, only for entertainments and comfort and for external validation.....
Bread and circuses...
For me:
everyone just want to be happy, more than freedom. All their hard works, through their rough process, and expected in the end to be happy. I think this is inevitable, because why would they care other things when they got something that makes them happy. And for thousands of years, Socrates warned us about Selfishness is everywhere.
Panem, circenses

I have desire for *actual* freedom, not the empty, collectivist bastardisation of the term propagated by reactionaries.
Freedom means to act according to your desires. Not to have desires according to your bigoted views.
I had had to read this book at school. Back then I had thought the story would have been far-fetched. Recently I came back to this book. I am shocked about the fact that the world is now being changed to transhumanism as narrated.
even more shocking then kid there was back in the 50's a document found from a Builderburge meeting talking about "silent weapons for silent wars" laid out in detail how they can control your thoughts and if anyone found out what was going on they would fail. in the 50's kid........ if only people listened back then or listened to the y2k warning.......
Do you know Jesus Christ can set you free from sins and save you from hell today

Romans 6.23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

'Am now 66. Studied this book in form 5. Always resonated with me for some reason. Now I know why!!
I'm surprised you were allowed to study this book!!!
Yes, besides Shakespeare the only other "wise" or "Great book of the Western Civilization canon" book I studied in public school was Lord Of The Flies by William Golding. I did not bother to read Brave New World or even 1984 until many years later. Ditto with Ray Bradbury's Farenheit 454. One has to read these works on their own now?? Of course, if one is to read such works it would help to have Cliff or Spark Notes to aid in such reading? An ATTENTION SPAN is also needed to read such things, and going by personal experience, that is something that seems to be evaporating from many of us.
@@jebidiahnewkedkracker1801 There are some books you "read" and other you "study" I like to recommend many of the ones you've mentioned to students I teach, it's important they know of them and how to interpret them!!
@@thomasprobert3290 Yes, I agree. You open almost any Cliff or Spark Notes booklet, or just look at the list of titles they discuss on the back or inside cover, and practically ANY of them should be STUDIED and not just READ.
Granted, we do live in a different world now that is pretty fast paced,
and even the most brightest or driven of students in a school (private or public) is probably NOT going to have the time or will to read them all. But Brave New World and Brave New World REVISTED along with 1984 should be required reading assignments. Lord Of The Flies? Meh. Shakespeare?? "Triple Meh". It is tragic too that there is an actual attitude of dismissal that many students and leaders of Academe have toward such works because "Dead white males" are the primary authors. Ok then...Read Black Boy by Richard Wright, and The Diary of Ann Frank too...Even Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand....If you dare?🤣🙄
Huxley was part of the Fabian society. He wasn't warning us. He was representing the concept. Memetic warfare lads and lassies
I did a 1st aid course the other day and the instructor said. " We once told our student's to use common sense in most 1st aid situations, we don't say that anymore because common sense isn't used much in todays world".
Eh, common sense is different for everyone, and that difference increases as we get exposed to a large variety of information like we are today. That really wasn't that good of an advice in the first place.
@@ArunKumar-dv8zw 100% agree.
@@ArunKumar-dv8zw the principle of common sense is that it is knowledge everyone has, hence the word common.
@@ArunKumar-dv8zw the meaning of this shows more with the german word of "common sense":

We do not have it these days, this is certainly true.
Instead of actions and thoughts coming from within based on healthy minds, we have people acting and reacting like they have been programmed.
Why do they go take the ....?
There is no reason to do it, on the contrary.
But they do, being hypnotized into it.
common sense isnt as common as one might think
The vast majority of people have such a hard on for the totalitarian and authoritarian themes of 1984, they haven’t noticed the Brave New World concepts that have been engrained into the fabric of society.

Beautiful re-visitation of this iconic book, the moral of all this is : We need to resist any form of oppression of the mind.
"Madness is rare in individuals, but in groups, parties, nations, and ages it is the rule"

John Cleese and Robin Skynner,
" Life and how to survival it" .
www.goodreads.com/book/show/1518412.Life_and_How_To_Survive_It
All tales of the future are distopias. Who is willing to take all the warnings and make the opposite?
Any smart being with two eyes can see what is wrong. It takes true genius, en mass, to make life into a Utopia with a few distopian qualities as the exception, and ever dwindling.
As One, we will make life the heaven on earth it has always been meant to be.
Are you with me?

I read Brave New World in the fifty’s ,and really enjoyed it,I could not read it now,it is too close to reality.
It's a world we're all implicit in creating (especially the older generations), so at the very least you should be forced to see the world you helped create for the younger generations.
It was already happening when written.
The Internet is our "SOMA"
Antidepressants are. Half the population take them (or another psych med)
no mindless entertainment such as social media and video games are Soma. people are too consumed and distracted in terms of addicted to these substances to hide and run away from reality. they all are subjugated to escaping the harsh world
they don’t even realize they are trapped in the Matrix because they have been mind controlled and manipulated to a deeper extent
they have been blue pilled and brainwashed so it is too f**king late to undo the damage and subliminal messages to the general population and many people 😙
In some ways it fits
It's not the government forcing people to take SOMA, it's the people who take it willingly and ostracize who doesn't
It’s very hard to hang out with a group of people and be the only sober one.
People made it, people produced it, people advertised it and sold it one another, people recommend it to one another.
There's is no conspiracy theory nor any government behind distractive, pleasurable and addictive things we engage with daily. It's just our weak character.

Just finished reading “Amusing Ourselves to Death” by Neil Postman and this video intrigued me as he was saying back in the 1980s that this was coming, and he referenced Huxley numerous times.
If you haven’t ever read that book, give it a look. It will give a lot of context as to how society has become primed for this last revolution to take place.
a big thankyou ! watched a debate of Brave New World v 1984 but Postman book head and shoulders above !!
Gonna check out the book
Thank you for the suggestion
Primed for REVOLUTIO. You Nailed it.
Can you imagine what Postman would have to say now with people constantly staring into their screens, sometimes when they’re driving, which is why you see so many rear-end collisions.
Every sporting event I go to a similar thing happens where people don’t even watch the game, but are watching something on their phone, texting or emailing, including me. Help!
1984 by George Orwell is the prelude to Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. To put it simply: 1984 is before. Brave New World is after. We're already in a brave new world. In conclusion: I think we currently live in a world that has combined the elements of 1984 and Brave New World. The elements of 1984 are more obvious. The elements of Brave New World are much more subtle and sinister. That's how I feel. I wonder how you feel. Reply how you feel. Peace and love. :)
Add Revelations to the list, you'll be with me.
you have it wrong they both describe the same exact thing, 1984 portrays it as the world prospective from brittian as brave new world comes from a man that spent time in a gulag and by the end was praising stalin..... not hating his capture.....

Huxley wasn't "warning" about totalitarian mind control. He started from the premise that there will "always be" a ruling oligarchy, of which he was a full-fledged member. He was actually describing their tools of power, from the inside.
Mexico and most of central and South America have been ruled by oligarchs which own most of the land. I pity those illegals coming here to be free HAh! if you have laws in a country, a Constitution but a corrupt judicial system , corrupt law makers who think they are above all laws then you have a banana Republic not a moral, ethical culture. Our country has sold out to evil 😈 in every aspect and on every level……
After reading the book and learning more about Huxley; that's the conclusion I came to as well. It's pretty glaring in my opinion
Exactly. I am reading The Travistock Institute.
Yea them freemasons run everything.
This may explain the strong objections amongst the American People, on the entire topic Huxley was part of.
Bravery is contagious. One person bucks the trend and often others follow. Like when we didn't wear a mask you could feel confidence grow when another did the same thing.
I couldn't believe the blatant behavioural control by psychological manipulation on the part of the UK government during the so called pandemic.
I would post links to government, NHS, WHO, etc. very own websites proving we were being lied to and manipulated by them, but despite the proof being there in front of their eyes people on the whole refused to believe.
This material needs to be mandated on every high school and college on the planet.
I was talking with a friend about whether we are heading into an Orwellian or a Huxleyian future. Definitely there are strong Orwellian elements, but the final architecture of a future dystopia will definitely be Huxleyian, because the carrot is so much more effective than the stick.
What about a hybrid my friend. Huxwellian. Carrots AND the stick.
That's why we have "democracy" and most western countries are welfare states; the state rarely has to use violence to stay in power. Very convenient for them.
Dude, it’s strange but I really never saw in the books this thing of “carrot in a stick” or the concept of positive reinforcement that Skinner said. I don’t see at any moment the relation of doing some task and the reward for doing this task.
Every time I think about Wall-E, I can see the Huxleyian influences and messages. It's frightening, to say the least. I also believe that they perform secret medical trials in mental health facilities on let's call them "troublesome patients". Can't have them disturbing the status quo with their outlandishly truthful insights and ideas. Just medicating you into submission until your mind and body both give out. It's revolting.
I thought to glibly say that the USSR was Orwellian and the current movement Huxleyan, but, upon thinking about it, I'm not sure. I am fairly certain that there will be a brutal Orwellian side to the oncoming totalitarianism, just as there will be an ethereal, Huxleyan drunkenness brought on by the stimuli so deftly manipulated by people higher up the chain. It is worth noting that the USSR was the same, similar mix of police brutality, surveillance and emotional manipulation as we are seeing now. There will be Orwellian squalor and Huxleyan "pristineness" in what is coming, and your choice of politics will make all the difference.

Aldus Huxley was another guy who was well ahead of his time. Like George Orwell.
These two people were so prescient. They have never been more important than they are today.
Unfortunately, it's natural human instinct to find heroes... Champions of either strength, truth, intelligence, etc. The problem here is, those men you mentioned are implicit in what's going on today. They were quite literally part of the elite, and belonged to organizations that pushed for all of this in the first place. These weren't warnings from well read men, these were boasts.
Great video, thank you.
Orwell and Huxley and many others were screaming I from the rooftops 70-80 years ago and still many are oblivious to even a basic understanding...and many don't want to know, that's scary.

Yep. Alot of people are having serious depression and I think those people are the ones realizing what's going on.

And as far as mask go. I still have not worn one for more than an hour total. Once to stand inline waiting for a case of 5.56. And once for a job that it was mandayed. Been escorted out of most stores around my town.
Sadly, i know many many people who wouldn't even know who Huxley or Orwell is, let alone think about what they were saying. (They probably view me as wacky!) They are fine as long as they have their paycheck, a car, Netflix, and a regimented life. They don't want to know.
Absolutely! I've reread both novels, 1984 & Brave New World, and I've concluded that we are living under a soft tyranny like the characters in BNW and not a hard tyranny like 1984. We are giving our freedoms away,
What if you found yourself in one of the modern penitentiaries?
I remember talking to a sociology and human behavioural science's major about this very book a long time ago. I was trying to explain to him that it wasn't fiction. He was adamant that it was. That was over 12-13yrs ago. I went on to tell him about how Aldous Huxley had given a speech at Berkley University in 1962 shortly before his death and in that speech he was sincerely talking about how his book was not based on science fiction but what the elites actually plan to implement and create into fruition. He still kept on about how it was just a work of fiction and that none of this stuff was ever going to happen. Wonder what he's thinking about right now?
That's college professors for you. I had a similar circumstance and I turned out right and he turned out wrong. They just like to hear themselves talk. You were right anyway.
He's doing it. And still denying it
Probably still glued to tv
He doesn't 'think', he's a product of this academic corruption and also a perpetuator of it
His wife's lover: "Dude, sorry but I've been boning your wife for several years."
His wife: "Yes I'm afraid it's true, I've been unfaithful for years."
Him: "Nahhh, that's a work of fiction."
That's the problem with the 'brave new world'. Most of us feel something is wrong in some way or another but cannot pinpoint the wrongness.
Maybe read your Bible?
Like Winston in 1984, unable to articulate it to O'Brian
Orwell predicted our inability to articulate because the newspeak lacks the vocabulary to contradict itself. Clearly wokeism is doublespeak. Huxley predicted we'd be lulled into compliance. Ironically Marx was right: we recognize the horrors of capitalism and our complicity but we'll defend it, working ever harder to obtain fewer scraps, rather than tear down the system.
Because the dominating forces and ideologies now opposes our very nature as humans.
Consider it the pain of lost souls, and pain is nothing but an alert.
It's not a brave new world , it's a SICK new world !

Well i guess then the question is if our lovely toilet in Armenia can flush all that nasty shit down without getting plugged. I think Armenia is maybe a good place to find hope. Because everything that i have learned about Edward Bernays style social conditioning or propaganda is that it is very difficult to change the views and ways of life of strictly religious people. I'm not saying everyone in Armenia is trying to be Jesus but when you tell them things like we are going to teach your kids about how 2 men can screw each other in the ass and its normal it is a tough pill to swallow for the average Armenian. That is why in the west they have deliberately weakened peoples authentic spiritual views and also family solidity. So they can implant all sorts of crazy ideas.

1:21 "the people will have their liberties taken from them, but they will enjoy their servitude.. " this is eerily reminiscent to Klaus Schwab and his "people won't have possessions, but they will be happy"

On the other hand, people can be tricked into throwing thier lives away serving an industry in the mad hope of accumulating wealth and possessions. People are vulnerable to propaganda on either side of that.

I love that man, Clive. Narnia is a wonderful place for sure but Mere Christianity changed more than a few lives. My youngest son for one and I am grateful.
Freedom is knowing how you ought to live and having the strength to do so.
That's all about you, and you don't exist in a vacuum.
true freedom is nirvana.
Imo, everyday folk can get their food, secure some type of water, creatively fashion clothing and useful items, entertain themselves, meet all our basic needs except shelter. The monopoly of land and land use is in the hands of the ruling class, and they know it. Got us over a barrel.
Love this. Never heard it. As someone overcoming addiction(3 weeks sober!) This is good stuff!

And the people bowed and prayed,
To the neon god they made...
Halo DARKNESS My old friend....
... ...
I've come to talk with you again
....
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light, I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sound of silence
We are smart enough to make advanced technology, but not wise enough to use it well.
The words of the prophets were written on the studio wall,the concert hall......

This man was so prophetic on so many levels, this is coming true before our eyes.
Hoah - I suspect Huxley showed the oligarchy how to do it. How they could enslave the masses. He gave them the idea and the techniques. And then, the bankers said: good idea. Let's do it !
@@cybair9341 your closer than most. Pick up a copy of "Brave New world" that includes "Brave New world: revisited" and, you'll see Huxley ADVOCATED for everything he wrote about. Then read his brother Julian Huxley's paper; "UNESCO; it's point and purpose".
He aight sometimes
@@cybair9341 I believe Dr Carroll Quigley wrote a book called "The Anglo-American establishment" that may speak to some of that.🤣 He was a globalist insider as well. Jay Dyer does a series of lectures called "the globalist book series" where he covers the work of Quigley, Huxley and the like in depth. Richard Grove is another good one. Check them out.
@@cybair9341 I've been studying the occult for... 23 years. I heard that Huxley was a part of an occult group where he found out what the end goal of the controllers was. Brave New World was written as a warning of what he had learned.

Inhowfar?
There’s a good probability that he did both; if you’re a prophet, it’s either because you have a gift, or you’re like the magician who predicts a catastrophe and then makes it happen.

No, propaganda has always existed. The way you think, the habits you have - these form the dystopia we live in today.

I say this all the time. Glad someone is making a video about it.
Yeah, videogames are no different to drugs btw.
Yeah. It correlates with our current awakening as well. It's handicapped by our dependency on technology for the same knowledge we need. It's so many distractions. I've deleted every social media but CZcams. And im well on the way of deleting this as well. The elite know this. No matter what we read, as long as we're dependent, then we can still be psychologically manipulated.
@Godavari Joshi 3872 same. I knew one thing though, as much as I want to keep in touch with friends, my mental health is deteriorating.. we all have a decision to make.
@Godavari Joshi 3872 it's a narrow road, my friend. Not everybody can come. Hang in there. You know what to do.
@Godavari Joshi 3872 shiiii nice, whatever makes you feel fulfilled. But as far as society is concerned for me, im setting myself apart and outta here. ✌️ I'm content with just one person to talk to.
At about 10 minutes and 20 sec mark, he says "Over time the typical television watcher is transformed into an "opinionated robot" ... wow so true! It really struck me, that's what we are dealing with on a massive scale.
I stopped watching television many years ago. Instead I read. The only reason I go on CZcams is to watch documentaries and videos like this. I also quit doing drugs and alcohol most five years ago. I see very clearly what's been happening and have been for years.. but when you try to talk to people about this stuff, they just look at you like you're crazy or you're a conspiracy theorist.
Oh well I'm in my sixties and I'm not going to be around that much longer. At least I got to grow up in the sixties and seventies when it wasn't quite as bad as it is now.
Huxley was a cultural snob, it didn't stop him trying to work for Hollywood... so a bit of a hypocrite too.
Everytime I escape reality it comes back with attitude.
Covid proved in real time that the masses would blindly obey their masters and global delusions are possible and effective. It is amazing that Orwell and Huxley predicted the future with such accuracy in their artistic works.
No what Covid showed is that people are ignorant of the fact that despite what they think, they have no rights only privilages allowed them through the laws where they live!
@@kdcema57 and what exactly are you doing to fight those "deciders" huh?
Yes Sir! Been saying it since Day 1 of that shitstorm.
Look a little closer at Huxley, Bertrand Russell and Orwell.
They were part of the conditioning process of normalisation into dystopian futures.
They played a huge role in the world we see today.
Huxley's family were known as eugenicists and so much more.
are you nutz? protecting yoursel;f from a global pandemic isn't an axample of oppression. "oh my god! i'm being asked to wear a mask to stop the transmission of highly infectious disease! SAVE ME FROM THE HORROR!" you anti-vax fools are part of the problem.
there's a word for all this. its called a "police-state." and the police-state ISN'T a future threat its a present reality. and its a corporate police-state that's been implemented. the elite use their corporate might to corrupt the govt to do its bidding.
einenhower's farewell speech is well know for its warnings against the "military industrial complex." what isn't talked about is his warnings against "the technological indudstrial complex." all you have to do is look at your own cellphone to see how you, YOURSELVES, have been conned into accepting your own slavery to your corporate masters.
odd how so many complain about the sick state of the world but fail to see the connection between the rise of digitization, the internet and cellphones and the sorry state we now find ourselves. a lie can now be transmitted around the world and infects the minds of MILLIONS in seconds. video games, internet porn and so-called social-media distracts us and conditions us to praise and applaud our dependence on and slavery to corporate technology.
thanks to the internet and other police-state technology we now live in a sick, demented, corporate created world that pits us against each other, normalizes delusion and glamorizes mental illness. thanks ELON MUSK! THANKS BILL GATES AND STEVE JOBS! these people who were paramount in enslaving us are now cultural icons! GO FIGURE!
I find that I'm becoming increasingly isolated from friends and family the more I openly talk about subjects like philosophy, psychology, spirituality, and self-improvement.
But these are the things I'm not only passionate about, but it's how I make a living too.
I can't stand small talk, gossip, or political drama; and I have no idea what everyone is watching on Netflix either.
This is the price of truth and knowledge that you weren't told about when you started your journey. It is a heavy burden.

I think we are called introverts according to this society. They label us ad inept and antisocial because we can think for ourselves. What a sad world we’re living. 😕
@Mussa Ibragimov true.
I'm with you. I've become ever-more distant from friends and family for this same reason. And more-so in the past year and a half since this whole current situation began. I observe things from an unbiased, unemotional standpoint, and that's just not the way of the world anymore. Try talking common sense and pointing out the flaws of so many things in today's world, and you're ostracized. Looked at as weird, "conspiracy theorist".. every single thing I said would happen at the start of this pandemic has been happening. And all along I've been called insane. "Theories aren't fact"... months later, theory continues to come true "whatever you're just crazy.. get over it. We don't want to hear about this stuff anymore just do what they say and this will be over" .... such a horrible, zombified place we are in. Common sense on almost all major issues shaping our future has been thrown out the window in favour of listening to what the people on TV say. Forget the thousands of experts in their respective fields claiming things aren't what they seem... they're just "crazy" and "not real (fill in the blank for their occupation)"..
Sad times.

For some reason, people think that the world need to endlessly advance, at any cost.
It could be perfect right now, it used to be, we got everything we need.
Oh we need to advance
Seriously. I wish there was some way to just stop everyone and everything. Just for a second even.
What do humans really need in order to be satisfied ? History tells us all we need is a boomerang, a didgeridoo and a good story. For 50000 years we were healthy and satisfied.

They want us chemically castrated so we can’t populate more and without testosterone we won’t have the energy or power to rise up like our ancestors with 10x test would have They want our moral grounding that took us so far erradicated and confused masked under wokness and pushed by their useful idiots the “extreme liberals “ who in the true terms are anything but liberal . And keep us distracted with tv and porn unlike our ancestors who had to stew in their thourghts among the company of friends , leading to them standing up. It’s just like the old Roman saying : “give them bread and games and they will ignore everything else we do” . The devil is in the detail . The world is moving towards feudalism and we are the serfs . The WEF openly talks and publishes its views about how “we will own nothing have no privacy and be happy”.

That final quote was all-too haunting. As a lover of nature, each year hits me with a little more dread upon the reality that at one point, our natural birthright to free will will be programmed out of us.
You already are not free.
Look at all the laws we have in the USA outside of infringing on OTHERS rights.
Like speed limits... Taxes...
You're free will is basically : your genetics + your environment when you were still developing (growing up when young) + your present environment.
If I can control 2 of those data I can manipulate your behavior for the rest of your life, the only way to get a real free will is through individuation which has not being achieved yet, individuation being the fusion of your subconscious with your consciousness (I summarize because many books can be written on the subject since it is really complex and still researched, that was one of the main and last work of Jung) .
Nature is evil and "free will" is nonsense.
You are an enemy of everything that is good and when the time has come, we will eat you.
As the monks I used to meditate with always said. How are you free? Did you ask your pancreas to do what it does, did you instruct your liver to filter away? Do you tell your lunges and heart to get to business. We're only hanging on for the ride in our corporeal shell.
Are the ideals of freedom important, of course. Is it achievable? Well, have you ever watched a dog chase it's tale?
Already has been. Look at the public school system in the 21st century. It’s destroying the family, so children can be raised by the (corrupt) state for destructive ends
It's crazy that we really are the generation having to face the very things warned about by 19th and 20th century scientists and philosophers. Sure, the concepts talked about still existed back then, but something about the current world feels very pressing and immediate, as if we don't have much time left to resist and educate others. I'm reminded of Hyper-normalization and the idea that this modern world is effectively augmented and meticulously controlled in the exact correct way to keep things like this indefinitely.
Blow
@divelostmind they didn't WARN you, they TOLD you, to your face, what they had planned.
I totally agree with this statement! You couldn't have said it any better!
Well, there's an argument that if you point to any period in human history, people at the time were talking about everything on the verge of turning to shit. I don't think the 19th and 20th century were any different. I suppose we might argue that was 'better' literature/commentary - or at last less mediocre literature/commentary diluting the things worth saying.
@@Ruylopez778 maybe but, these people were not commenting on thing turning to shit. These people were, and are, steering the ship. Many, many books and white papers they wrote telling you this.

Just look at the corona madness at the moment and you know this is all true.
The thing is, stupidity and panic is humans' natural state. You don't need a secret cabal of elites to do this. People will happily dumb themselves down.
I don't agree with this idea of a secret elite performing these actions on society. I think an idea like that is absurd, trying to fabricate a villain out of nowhere. I don't think anyone's at the helm. Disasters just happen, and people stupidly look away.
If there is a secret group of elites behind it, doesn't that make you feel better? A villain to be beaten? It feels too convenient to be true. Most people would just rather have safety than the stress of freedom.

CZcams is our parent, telling us what we can and can’t watch. This heavy handed censorship, ostensibly for the common good, is unacceptable in a democracy.
Tolerance will reach such a level that intelligent people will be banned from speaking so as not to offend the idiots.
Liberalism is turning our capitalist society into communism, governments feeling the need create legislations and laws to bring everyone to equal grounds. We are basically being told that if we make more then someone else we will be taxed more so that someone else can reap the benefits for your hard work.

Mob rule is exactly the direction the leftist dems, and the leftist media, and leftist Hollyweird, and the leftist Federal government is taking this country. They in combination make a very effective operation, their effectiveness, is similar to the effect compounding, or exponential numerical growth.

Exactly... it appears both Huxley and Orwell were more about predictive programming than honest warning. A real eye opener for me in the last several months, as I've seen more evidence mount up for this. It's like ordinary people have no friends at all in this world of deception, except each other (and even then not always).
Excellent...
I want to thank you for this. And To Honor the person who has left us who wants to be free. Teachings of what's To come and so we can be prepared for that moment.
Nearly 90 years ago Aldous Huxley prophesized the future of humanity, without any inkling of an understanding as to what technologies may exist in modernity, but... he understood people... people are animals, predictable as the execution of computer-code.. and he was eerily accurate as to what modernity would present to Earth. The technology is irrelevant, but the behavioristic impulses of the Human Ape are easily chartable, at least for geniuses such as Mr. Huxley, allowing such accurate abstractions of the future.
Brave New World is one of my favorite books.. a road in to depressive-nihilism in some ways.. but his book "The Divine Within" is a good antidote to much of the nihilism generated through certain understandings. I recommend all to read through it, at least, if you are interested in spirituality and of a scientific-mind.
Definitely the most haunting of the classic dystopian novels in my opinion. It's absolutely wild Huxley wrote it in 1931.
Oh my God. Chilling. I’m so sad for humanity, for all of us. Now is the time to reach out with LOVE and PEACE and FREEDOM loud on the lips.
