Humans producing humans...how perverted!

Brave new World?

Stability
In this brave new world, one of the three big factors to make the system safe is stability. But how can you make sure that your state is safe? First, we have to understand what is instability for them.
1. Emotions...they could lead us to stupid thoughts and actions. Sometimes i think thats correct.
How can they bend emotions?
They can reduce the consumption of the oxygen while a clone is breeded. The lower the caste=the lower the oxygen=the lower your emotions. Control everywhere.
2.Education: way to stupid things, too. So they wiped out everything which came before Ford and only teach the new clones what they shall know.
3.free thinking: imagine a single clone who teachs others to free them from the "slavery" of the brave new world. Whats to do? stop the free thinking of each clone while he is asleep. Hypnopaedia is used by the controlers of the brave new world, so each human being becomes conditioned to think the same.
4.happiness?? i think each clone would be unhappy if he would know whats happening to him he would be totally angry. so some clever head of the brave new world invented the soma-drug and each clone shall take some soma to become happy if he is thinking too much.

Cloning in the real life? Sure, remember Dolly the sheep. Deficite: Dolly died a couple of years later, but earlier than other sheep.
Cloning is possible, but it has a few aspects which should be improved.

The Tempest
The title of huxleys book is a quotation from the shakespeare act named the tempest, in which a magician and his daughter are caught on a faraway island, because they had to escape some murderers.
They live on that island, et quand les autres humains sont arrivées, the daughter of that magician ( Name of magician: Prospero,name of the daughter: Miranda) said
O, wonder! / How many goodly creatures are there here! / How beautious mankind is! O brave new world / That has such people in´t!" .
Huxley created a guy in his book, who is often called "the savage", but his real name is John. He was rised up in a reservation, but his mother told him how to write and to read, from shakespeares texts. So he quotes very often from Romeo and Juliet and The Tempest.

I just read a few things at wikipedia, and it seems like soma was an ancient drug, known as the drug of gods...and Huxley saw it, thinking: great, a drug for my new book!
Hm.
In origin times, soma was a drug which gave illusions to its consumers, and they celebrated a ceremony of...sacrifice people for some goddess or god.
its not clear how to produce soma, the drug in huxleys book is not quite the same, because it doesnt make illusions, it only removes your fears.

Consumption
Each human being in brave new world is nearly forced to get his or her soma every time he or doesnt feel well. I think, only the alpha guys are free to decide if they want to consume it.
The beta guys and the lower castes are conditioned to take it, they dont even think about it. If another clever alpha guy asks them (as Bernard Marx does sometimes) they only have a quotation from ther hypnopaedia lessons to explain why they consume it.
Another consume "products" are the partys they celebrate, knows as "orgy-porgy" and the sport for everyone.
Enough for some minutes :D

Summa sumarum...(thank you Sina :D)
short overview i guess...
-humans are produced in "bottles"
-in their childhood, they become conditioned to their special cast
-the lower castes are not able to think correctly because of O² deficites
-each human is a proud member of his or her cast
-history exists from the moment Henry Ford was born (30.7.1863)
-each citizen of the brave new world is stimulated with the help of Soma (authentic drug)
-sexual feelings are wiped out, instincts are main factor
- if youre not alpha, you are not able to show real emotions(love, bis anger, sadness)
-reservations are the single places where children are born naturally
;D

well, that book shows a world in which all humans are produced like the "model t" invented by Ford.As a symbol of Ford, they deleted all history and all books from the time before Ford (BF).
Also, they make a T-symbol(model T) instead of a + christian symbol...thats their religion.
Some humans are more intelligent than others, the more stupid ones didnt get as much O² in their breeding machines like the clever ones. The human beings with the most O² are the alpha + humans, each human is divided into another caste. We know about 5 castes, alpha, beta, gamma, delta and epsilon (each member of a cast feels lucky that he is in that cast....brainwashing, i say!)
Alpha + -
Beta + -
Gamma + -
and so on.
oh...brainwashing is nearly correct. while they are asleep, they are taught many things by "hypnopaedia", ...yes, invented by a polish boy in earlier times.
i wrote about the sentences and repititions, that hypnosis is the reason for "a gramme is better than a damn" and the other confusions. each boy and each girl is educated while he or she is sleeping, and nobody except the clever alpha guys knows this.
but where is the rest of the human population?
the normal ones?
they are allowed to live in some...outside camps like indians. the population of the "brave new world" didnt like them, they seem to be ugly and disgusting. because they have real children, they are the humans which are titulated as not normal.
Although, the word "parents" has the same meaning for the "modern world" like ... (need an embarassing word) in ours. Each child, hearing the p-word, is red in the next second.

Reading Log
I read the whole book on my way to germany, the final part on the way back to belgium.
My thoughts about the book...its completely incredible, i would never accept a life style like that. The persons which seemed to be normal were often annoyed by the soma-specialists, and the repetitions made me nervous, too.
A gramme is better than a damn, may be, but its enough if they´d said it only once....
Furthermore, i think that the games, played by the young children, shall be stopped even in that book..thats not normal :o
I couldnt live in such a world where everybody is created as his neighbour...there would be no fun, would it?

Function of chapter one
Brave new world (Aldous Huxley)
Chapter 1 and its function
In chapter one, we can imagine a building, very ugly and painted in grey. In this building, the world rulers of the future are hatching new human beings, although they are “only” clones. The first …man who is talking, is the director of the hatching corporation, shortly the D.H.C. . This man is talking to a couple of students, (which are cloned, too) and he explains the function of every room and every level of the factory to them.
In this early state of the book, it is obvious that the students are not able to think on their own. Each thing, which is said by them, was conditioned, was learned by them in their childhood. The function of the students is to show how the humans are made unable to think freely.
The next point is the color and the design of that building. Grey everywhere, lamps are treated as ghosts, workers seemed to be zombies or something like that, and you can´t see colors anywhere. So the building is a symbol of…inhumanity. Evil, cruel, whatever ? May be…but I think only the cold side of this brave new world shall be shown by the hatchery.
Okay, then we got the director. The director seems to be a master to the students; they write down everything what he says. (The cleverness of the students again…) However, the director explains everything that they have to know about the hatching factory. In another room, they see the “bottles”, in which the new clones are hold in while the “pregnancy phase”. As the director told the students something about parents, they blush, but only because they were told so in the past. This is another hint to the intelligence of the clones.
The reader knows, after reading the first pages, that the citizens of the brave new world are divided into some casts, from alpha (the highest cast) to epsilon and gamma (the lower casts). Each member of the one cast is proud to be in his cast and admires the upper classes.
Furthermore, a feminine nurse is introduced, but in chapter one, the reader does not know that she is one of the main characters. Lenina Crowne, proud (-.-) beta cast member, is, as I said, nurse, and the director does not think of any cruelties while he claps her backside…as a lover. So…the reader knows, (thanks to mister director) that each women and man is a free object for sexual happiness.
Great, huh?
But in fact, the nurse doesn’t care about this, she is a beta, and betas haven’t a right to forbid activities that seem to be funny to alphas. Next points…free sexual activity for every citizen of the brave new world and mindlessness of them.
All in all, the first chapter shows 3 main points of the system which rules the world in this book:
First point: Coldness of the new human beings and the way they are produced.
Second point: The clones are not able to thin freely.
Third point: Main activity of the clones: sexual activities…
Thank you :D
