TV and drugs used to distract the masses; overpopulation pressuring resources and governments; the growth of bureaucracy; oil running out? I'm glad none of this crazy Brit's predictions came true.

Sounds like you are one who is distracted.

Sad you cannot recognize your own imprisonment.

Aldous' brother, Sir Julian Sorell Huxley, was a biologist 1st director-general of UNESCO. Aldous had inside knowledge.
