Hi vmead, Thanks for this opinionated piece by Aldous Huxley, prophesizing--in 1923--the downfall of Western civilization! 100 years later civilization is still alive, but Huxley still has a lot to say to us: "With a mind almost atrophied by lack of use, unable to entertain itself and grown so wearily uninterested in the ready-made distractions offered from without that nothing but the grossest stimulants of an every-increasing violence and crudity can move it, the democracy of the future will sicken of a chronic and mortal boredom."vmead wrote: ↑September 16th, 2021, 9:09 pm Pleasures
