See this, this right here, it baffles me. I want you to read really closely and explain how it's not true.
Right now, as you are reading this, someone is getting raped. Somewhere in the world. A murder, a suicide, a slave, a prostitute, an addict. I don't even need to know the details, because in this world it is statistically definite that at this moment it is happening somewhere. And you look at this, this Brave New World, there is no rape, no murder, no hunger, no unemployment, safe drugs, safe sex, and people are raised specifically to want certain things so that, taa daa, they spend their whole lives getting everything they want. Huxley's specifics, naturally, are informed by 20th-century understanding of genetics and psychedelics. You look at this world and say, 'I dunno it's kinda like Vegas, I'd give up a real utopia for the fantasy of mine specifically.'
I DECLARE NEMESIS!
