Has Huxley’s Brave New World arrived in 2020?

It’s interesting to see just how much our life today in 2020 is being likened to some dystopian futuristic sci-fi novel, where we are living under a global totalitarian world order and our freedom has been removed but we don’t even realize it. Does this sound familiar, or anything like your life today? Or is that just some far-fetched notion?

Take, for example the famous novel Brave New World written in 1932 by Aldous Huxley:

“There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them but will rather enjoy it.”

Aldous Huxley Brave New World

“The victim of mind-manipulation does not know that he is a victim. To him, the walls of his prison are invisible and he believes himself to be free.”

These two quotes capture the idea well enough to allow us to think about it and compare it to our world right now in 2020. In Huxley’s futuristic society, set in the year 2540, science and efficiency is the center. Emotions and individuality have been conditioned out of children from a young age already and there are no real lasting relationships.

When I noticed this plot, I couldn’t help seeing the similarities to our current life under lockdown. Today we have an emerging technocracy, where the 4th Industrial Revolution is arising, bringing with it the IoT (internet of things). AI and algorithms will determine everything from what you can post online, to what you may see online, to how you may behave. Add to this the UBI (universal basic income) and social credit score and you have a society where everyone is monitored and rewarded or reproached via a government payout or refusal thereof, all based on how you behaved.

Add to this the current mass demand for mask wearing and you have the truly depersonalized society. You are not allowed to think or speak outside of the government narrative without risking a loss of your grant, and you are not allowed to show facial expression or individuality. You are forced to hide your individuality behind a mask and to all conform in look and behavior. And this is enforced at schools now, all day long from the smallest kids up to the biggest.

All the draconian laws imposed upon us this year under the guise of saving us from a supposed pandemic, are engineered to dehumanize us and estrange us from our social circles by lockdown and mask wearing.

Huxley, like George Orwell in his similarly scary futuristic novel 1984, were apparently members of a small society of select intellectuals who were privy to insider information regarding the coming future planned by the elite for the masses for the past several decades already. The enforced draconian lockdown into lockstep of the entire planet was planned years ago and is being implemented today – according to some observers.

Huxley also mentions in his book the practice of genetic modification of humans via cloning and gestation outside of the womb. Different classes of humans are engineered in the lab by feeding them differing chemicals via tubes while the embryo is growing during its nine months of gestation. People are engineered to be certain distinct classes, like we see in the movie Divergent, based on another sci-fi futuristic dystopian novel recently made into the popular movie.

The similarities may be only vaguely similar but the themes of genetic manipulation of humans has actually arrived this year, via the Bill Gates vaccine planned for every human on the planet. It is apparently designed to genetically modify your RNA, which is part of your DNA make-up. You will be the new genetically modified human in 2020 – or whenever the vaccine arrives. This has never been done before in history and neither is it safe. The Frankenstein science of Huxley’s Brave New World has arrived not in the year 2540 but in 2020, 520 years early.

Novelists and philosophers can easily hide their prophecies and predictions in such sci-fi futuristic novels without too much reproach. And sometimes these novelists appear to be revealing a glimpse into the dark future awaiting us all on the planet, if the elite are allowed to go forward with their agenda.

I can’t help but see the massive totalitarian suppression of our human rights this year as the start of the shape of things to come. This looks like the new engineered suppression of society that these great writers warned about. Our freedoms have been swept away this year in one foul swoop, and here we sit, accepting it all as if our life depended upon it, which is the narrative that the elite have spun via their pandemic narrative, despite proof to the contrary.

Here we sit in our self-imposed prisons without even realizing that we are in a prison, exactly as described by Huxley almost 100 years ago. As human interaction is crushed and taken away from us still further in coming months and years, we will slowly wake up to the realization that we have been imprisoned in our own homes and placed in a kind of solitary confinement, like a prisoner in a mask to hide our individuality and personal identity.

To me it looks dark, dire and dystopian, as we are systematically demoralized and psychologically crushed month after month under lockdown, masks and social distancing, all of which are detrimental to our health. To me the Brave New World Order is here and our enslavement has already begun. Life may never be as free as 2019 ever again.

Sort:  

The Iron Heel gets less press than 1984, but I think it does a better job.

Epigenetic Research has come long way, specially eugenics. His brother julian and morphogenesis can give answers. I am sure that the FAO is planing to remove monotonous jobs at a faster rate to reduce our self destruction thru wasting valuable resources. We have to keep the barn animals in check if the majority of sheeps are brainlessly following the masses?

I absolutely do think that this is a huge push for control of the population.
