If you believe people like Alex Jones, you'll say that Huxley was in favor of created the world described in his most popular book - Brave New World.
But why take Jones' word for it? Why not read Huxley's own words? I recommend that everyone who's read Brave New World should read a little known essay Huxley wrote: Brave New World Revisited

RE: Was Aldous Huxley for or against tyranny?
Where / when did Alex say or suggest that "Huxley was in favor of the world described in his most popular book - Brave New World"? Haven't heard that one. Can you give a quote...?

Can you give a quote...? Unless you know of a source of Jones transcripts, or somebody who can remember every word Jones ever said and when exactly he said them, then no, I can't. He mentions fairly frequently that Huxley is a eugenicist and was totally plugged into the NWO. He may be right. Huxley was worried about overpopulation and the degradation of the gene pool. The fact is that Jones tends to see things in black and white. Huxley was a complex man, not worthy of that treatment.

RE: Was Aldous Huxley for or against tyranny?
I think Huxley was being a 'realist' so to speak. I don't think he was outright in favour of what he wrote about but realised that the way the world was going that it was the most likely scenario.
Anyway here's a small review I wrote a while back about the forward of Brave New World which was added in later editions of the book. http://concen.org/forum/showthread.php?t...#pid218370 |
