Corruption In Brave New World By Aldous Huxley

The constant quest to escape boredom has led to problems in the Brave New World and our modern society. Aldous Huxley wrote Brave New World in 1932. Huxley wasn't warning us against watching television or going to the movies occasionally, he says in this interview with Mike Wallace that TV can be harmless, but rather he warns against the constant distraction becoming more important in our lives instead of the problems that affect us. Given how stressful people find the idea of a tech-free day and how we take our pop culture so seriously that it was targeted for use by Russian bots, he might have been onto something.

The effects that rulers in the Modern and Brave New World have on their people are influenced by the things that are created specifically to keep them addicted,"Hence the obedience which is only rooted in the fear of force must be transformed into one rooted in man's heart. Man, must want and even need to obey, instead of only fearing to disobey. If this is to be achieved, power must assume the qualities of the All Good, of the All Wise, and of the All Knowing* (Erich From: Obedience as a psychological and moral problem).
