Aldous Huxley: “This Is How Freedom In The World Will End “

Will we really lose our freedom? At a time as delicate as the current one, immersed in the most absolute uncertainty, and in full constant change at all levels, economic, political and social, many of us ask ourselves how far are we going to go given the situation we are in? sunk? We do not know, what we can do is review some of the reflections of people who lived something similar to what Aldous Huxley lived.

The writer and philosopher was already reflecting on this, which meant the loss of freedom, both individual and collective, around 1914 and 1930; period in which the First and Second World War occurred, and events that Huxley lived in his flesh. Some hard moments from which he drew his own conclusions about everything that was happening, and that has a certain parallel with what we live today.

For Huxley, in the end, the most important thing in times of crisis is divergent, individual and critical thinking. For him, it is the only way to fight against the system, and against all social injustice and tyranny in the world.

Aldous Huxley and his omens in Brave New World

Huxley’s 1931 novel predicted modern life in some way. A book that warns us about the dangers of the media, passivity and how even an intelligent population can be driven to choose dictatorship over freedom.

A happy world is the description of a society in which everyone is very happy all the time. And this is ensured and is so, through the destruction of the free will of the majority of the population, genetic engineering and Pavlovian conditioning (Pavlov), the one by which everyone is kept entertained with endless distractions of all kinds, and even , with “drugs”, in case all else fails.

Thus the world state of Brave New World is a dictatorship striving to ensure order; a dictatorship that is run by ten oligarchs who depend on a sprawling bureaucracy to keep the world running. And in this way, people are conditioned to love their submission, and to be proud of the vital work they do to feel relieved that they do not have to worry about the problems of the world.

The 4 predictions of Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley, who also lived through the beginnings of the Cold War, made a statement for the BBC in 1958 in which he predicted that it is necessary to be alert, wake up and question the control over the population and the management of power.

Media slaves in the hands of private interests

In our modern society, most of us cannot spend more than thirty minutes without wanting to check our cell phone, a little more or less, but the truth is that we are slaves. As Huxley predicted, we have made it possible to not be bored through the endless information provided by technology, television, and the media, and all that this has also begun to bring to our mental health.

Although distraction is necessary and not bad, Huxley was not against it, but at no time can it become more important than the real problems that affect us globally, since, in addition, there are always people who Take advantage of these distractions to gain power to your advantage.

Advertising and consumerism

Consumerism can also be used to keep us distracted, directing our attention and efforts to meeting needs that are not really distracted. A consumption that for Huxley is a kind of silent dictatorship that conditions people to buy new things all the time.

At that time, in the middle of the 20th century, television was just beginning to play a decisive role, but today, it is not only television, but consumption and advertising invade us. It is enough to open any social network: Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Youtube …, any means of communication, etc., to realize your intention: to influence the consumer with any product or service, so that they are as distracted as possible.

Establishment of a dictatorship based on surveillance

For Huxley, then the dictatorship was based on the strict use of force through surveillance, punishment, and a permanent state of war. Although Huxley predicted this use of force through punishment, something that is also seen in our days, what does seem to be a fact, today, is that they watch us. In an interview with the journalist Marta Peirano, an expert journalist in Internet security, she explained that 5G is a trap to spy on us.

Thus, in said interview conducted by El Confidencial , he assured that: “The Internet is dominated by an economic model based on the extraction of data for the manipulation of people in order to sell them objects, services, experiences, political candidates … And it is in the hands of fewer and fewer companies fighting each other to the death to dominate that market. Governments are in fact clients of these companies and use their infrastructures to control the population, produce fake news or persecute dissidents ”. said.

The drug revolution will make us love slavery

So drugs were a way to keep people “happy” and under control. And now? Many believe that this is possible through vaccines …

Among the thousands of examples, we can talk about Take the Red Pill, a podcast in which brain experts talk about new mind control techniques. Here hypotheses have been considered such as that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, supposedly already developed vaccines with which they would introduce microchips into the body that, through 5G, could control the mind.

The truth is that we do not know and there is no evidence in this regard.

Politicians advised by professionals, according to Aldous Huxley

All politicians who occupy important positions have advisers who seek that the population see in their counsel the values ​​that they appreciate, regardless of the content of the speech or the effective measures that are put in place by the administration they lead. What is important is what it looks like, not what it is.

Thus, marketing, and marketing in politics is also the key to influencing people’s decisions when choosing one or the other candidate.

Aldous Huxley was a person with his gaze fixed on the distant horizon, for him, that we inhabit today. In his thinking was a future world in which people would be controlled through technology in a simple and effective way. So much so that we ourselves would end up strengthening a system that deep down makes us prisoners.
