Brave New Sphere
An observation: This site seems to have become a cyberspace version of the Cyprus experiment mentioned in Aldous Huxley’s novel Brave New World.
In Chapter XVI, John Savage asks the World Controller Mustapha Mond, “Why don’t you make everybody an Alpha Double Plus while you’re about it?”
Mond laughs and replies, “Because we have no wish to have our throats cut,” and then adds, “a society of Alphas couldn’t fail to be unstable and miserable.” Mond then goes on to describe how the Cyprus experiment proved in actual practice what was obvious theoretically.
O brave new Sphere that has such people in it!
