Aldous Huxley on Ambiguity, Society, & Education

thank you for posting this

So little really changes over time, we are no closer to finding and actually following through on universally beneficial solutions to hunger, poverty and violence, despite all our technology, money, resources, laws, rules, schools, we are stranded still in the miseries of Huxley's decadant brazen World. Now worse, we spend more on milititary and police projects and less on education today, in reciprocal arrangement to spending during Orwell's Days. .

too many people are jones town cult members. I really do not understand how anyone can listen to anything a.j. says. This man was obviously gifted and intelligent and did not agree at all with what was going on

I agree hotelbluestar - that he probably knew about it. What is always common within the oligarchy is the FRONT, the COVER of "doing good works" while somewhere else in their business they undermine and do their real Agenda -(pull the rug out from under )- and they ALWAYS do it in such a way as to make money and gain kudos and fame.

He was nearly blind

i wouldnt doubt that he definantly has elitist family background, as for the eye contact, i notice that alot of deep thinkers especially when thinking usually dont make eye contact. but we do know that his brother julian was writing up ideas on eugenics, and population control. im thinking that he knew about it, maybe even was part of it and was kinda throwing out a warning to people of what was planned to come

@hotelbleustar His brother was really a big dandy .Very sophisticated, an UNESCO advisor, but not so great biologist , no doubt that was eclipsed by Huxley´s aura . Nevertheless, in the breed counterpoint , Aldous got his terrible blindness, and his encyclopedic brain.Indeed he was really an amphibian: always living with dignity poise in the dark limits, and serene humility when on the pulpits.

@hotelbleustar This is of course, at least in part, because eye movement facilitates recalling knowledge.

i think it's a farce Huxley talking about the world in a chronic structure and danger when he's PART of it! He's one of the FAMILIES that chose to intermarry and maintain power! He certainly doesn't make eye contact with his interviewer. He's no precious! (sorry i didn't reply earlier.) Good to see this video - even for his hypocracy
