Today we are living in a culture obsessed by superficial pleasure over truth and deeper meaning. This is also the vision of Aldous Huxley in his dystopia of Brave New World. The debate is ongoing on wether George Orwells 1984 or Brave New World is the best prediction of our present and future allthough today most scholars are in favour of Brave New World.
To me it seems as if todays mixture of low moral,superficial culture,social media and kidnapped dopeamine systems are the perfect storm against truth. I can´t resist in agreeing with John the Savage (the main character in Brave New World) in his desire for real freedom,goodness,sin and real danger.
Let´s hope there will come a time when common sense and wisdom rules the world instead of todays infantile culture.
