Description

Aldous Huxley envisioned a future where pleasure would become a more effective form of control than repression and that future has arrived. In this episode, we explore how entertainment, consumer culture, and instant gratification have become tools of influence just as powerful as force. We examine the warning behind Brave New World and how it mirrors our modern dependence on comfort and stimulation. This reflection dives into the subtle ways society encourages us to trade freedom for convenience, often without realizing the cost.
