Excerpt: Prefatory Note: “This book is based upon lectures originally given at Ruskin College, Oxford, England. Three of these-- Chapter I, “Science and Tradition,” Chapter II, “General Effects of Scientific Techniques,” and Chapter VI, “Science and Values”--were subsequently repeated at Columbia University, New York, and published by the Columbia University Press. None of the other chapters have been published before in the United States. The last chapter in the present book, “Can a Scientific Society be Stable?” was the Lloyd Roberts Lecture given at the Royal Society of Medicine, London.”
Excerpt: Chapter III “Scientific Technique in an
Oligarchy”
“Fichte laid it down that education should aim at
destroying free will, so that, after pupils have left school, they
shall be incapable, throughout the rest of their lives, of thinking
or acting otherwise than as their schoolmasters would have wished.
But in his day this was an unattainable ideal: what he regarded as
the best system in existence produced Karl Marx. In future such
failures are not likely to occur where there is dictatorship. Diet,
injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to
produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the
authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the
powers that be will become psychologically impossible. Even if all
are miserable, all will believe themselves happy, because the
government will tell them that they are so.” (page 50)
Aldous Huxley's quotations pertaining to Brave New World (1932) and The Ultimate Revolution (1962 speech):
Foreward to the 1946 edition of Brave New World: "A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude."
From the transcript of Aldous Huxley's 1962 speech The Ultimate Revolution: "It seems to me that the nature of the ultimate revolution with which we are now faced is precisely this: That we are in process of developing a whole series of techniques which will enable the controlling oligarchy who have always existed and presumably will always exist to get people to love their servitude. This is the, it seems to me, the ultimate in malevolent revolutions shall we say, and this is a problem which has interested me many years and about which I wrote thirty years ago, a fable, Brave New World, which is an account of society making use of all the devices available and some of the devices which I imagined to be possible making use of them in order to, first of all, to standardize the population, to iron out inconvenient human differences, to create, to say, mass produced models of human beings arranged in some sort of scientific caste system. Since then, I have continued to be extremely interested in this problem and I have noticed with increasing dismay a number of the predictions which were purely fantastic when I made them thirty years ago have come true or seem in process of coming true."
“There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution.” Aldous Huxley
