Is this a joke or not :D

I just found a picture of a typical epsilon --- worker...

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 found this on google...and i hope this is a bad joke :P
Soma????

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
