Aldous Huxley Interview Essay

Overpopulation
Propaganda
Technology
Overpopulation led to a disgusting way of controlling how human beings were to be produced. Overpopulation is a huge problem today because we have so many people, not enough people dying, and with global warming upon us, I wouldn't be surprised if we had to depend upon a certain type of producing, a more controlled way. Propaganda can be powerful. People tend to believe everything they see or hear on social media, newspapers, the radio. Whether propaganda is used for good or bad, people tend to believe whatever they WANT to. Makes me skinny? Eat it. Makes me fat? Burn it. It's used to control people's thinking. It's especially dangerous for children because their minds are still impressionable and they'll think the way people want them to think. Technology advances will always be know as "future" solutions. Anything that can do something for humans, so that humans don't have to do it, is all of a sudden called technology. We can never stop technology from progressing because humans are imperfect, they're greedy, and power hungry. They will produce anything to make life easier, faster, and cheaper. The more money, means more happiness. Which is sad, because we see all these things happening, now and back in the 50's. It's simply gotten worse, and it will never stop getting worse.
