228 - "Oh Brave New World that has such people in it!"
Aldous Huxley's Brave New World shines a light on the fallacies of all collectivist movements. In pursuit of a greater good, the individual spirit is decimated through the pursuits of technological advancement and meaningless pleasure.
The Brave New World has already arrived, as the masses have chosen to engage in an unconscious pursuit of pleasure. Escapism is the root of what has allowed the Brave New World to flourish. Everybody knows there is more outside the illusions of comfort, but there is not even a thought to explore this realm because of the programming that's taken place.
We must remember that the greater good does not exist. A collective is only maintained through an integrated group of individuals choosing harmony.
