Amusing Ourselves to Death

I found this cartoon/graphic via a comment on zero-hedge and it really hit home. I thought I'd share it with you guys. It's a good representation of what today's modern society has (d)evolved into:

Amusing Ourselves to Death

Thanks for posting that.

I downloaded the book "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley and will read it on my flight in a few weeks.

A quick search shows that Roosh reviewed it here:
http://www.rooshv.com/more-books-3

"Another dystopia book that shows how humans of the future will be chemically conditioned at birth to fit pre-determined casts (gammas, deltas, betas, and alphas). Conditioning continues in childhood with “sleep learning,” where a speaker near the bed teaches them an entire belief system that they will keep for the rest of their lives, all to maintain social order and stability, the ultimate goal of civilization.

All future humans know their place and are always happy, amused with constant distractions and soma, a pharmaceutical that causes blissful relaxation. A problem arises when a “savage” enters the picture and questions civil society. Some say we’ve more realized the vision spelled out in this book more than in 1984, as we’re drugged, always entertained, and trained to be apathetic through individualism. Brave New World is not quite a page turner but I did enjoy it." -Roosh

Amusing Ourselves to Death

I read Brave New World in school. In reflection after I discovered game, John the Savage was a beta (in the pick-up sense, not in the caste sense of the book). How he courted Lenina or whatever her name was, might have worked in his cultural context, but in the modern world you'll see where his beta-game led him. Lenina is in so many ways reflective of the Modern American Woman. Can't believe how prophetic Huxley was when he wrote the book in 1932.
