About this listen
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.
This episode was a blast, talk soon!
