War is Peace - came true: Only by tolerating the destruction of your culture are you left alone (cancel culture/hate crime)
Freedom is Slavery - came true: Only by supplication to tyranny are you permitted to move. (vaccine passport/mask mandates)
Ignorance is Strength - came true: Only those oblivious to their bondage and stupidity have the naive motivation to participate. (clown world/fake news)
Great synopsis of both books fren.
I think this is really why people often say that Eric Blair (George Orwell's real name) was/is a time traveler.
Because what he wrote seemed like an account of something built. Not an imagining.
I think 1984 is further down the line but just as possible. I think the crowning achievement that would make that possible is the use of genetically engineering society into a caste system. Once you do that, the rest falls into place. The need for Huxley’s use of social and pharmaceutical engineering is no longer needed as the individual is ‘created’ to be what it is intended to be at birth. Perhaps some of what we are watching play out as is, say neurologically destroying a large portion of the population is a part of setting that in motion. The idea has long been stated, to diverge humanity into almost entirely different species altogether. Social Darwinist/eugenicist set that in motion from the beginning. I believe transhumanists seek to finish what they started.
Both work in tandem. Huxley understood the use of psychological manipulation and pharmaceuticals. In his vision, the elite could continue to hide in the shadows as we were socially engineered to embrace a society of obedience out of ignorance and amoral hedonism. Sort of like the satanic/technological bread and circus we are watching emerge today.
