You Won't Watch This

Twenty eight minutes and forty three seconds that you will be unable to watch.
... I think that what we are going to see is …a people on the whole with very little freedom but with an oligarchy on top enjoying a considerable measure of freedom and a very high standard of living. -- Aldous Huxley

I enjoyed Brave New World, so this video is very interesting. Thanks. But what about it is difficult to watch (aside from it possibly being deemed boring)? But maybe I am such a cynic when it comes to politics and advertising that nothing that Mr. Huxley says here is new.

The comment was a testament to Huxley's hinting that we are being gradually distracted and desensitized into an industrialized subservience.


It is deeply rooted in your comment "Aside from it possibly being deemed boring." It is a difficult piece to watch for 28 minutes considering how we have been trained away from focusing on content such as this.


As an aside, BNWR is at least as interesting as BNW.
