it's pretty ironic how Huxley and Orwell had opposing views on what leads us to destruction, yet they were both simultaneously right about it.

They are merely situational for everyone, and sometimes it should or shouldn’t be taken.

Aldous Huxley was one of the important influences on my development - he is what inspired a life-long love of learning in me, and has led me to now become a Neuroscience PhD student studying the mind, brain, and psychedelic drugs. I wouldn't have taken this route in life if it was not for his immensely inspiring life and way of being. He was way ahead of his time, with an insight into things that was both extraordinarily broad and deep, from the most mundane social dynamics of the British intelligentsia, to the most profound realizations of mystics and psychonauts. Really a towering figure in the 20th century. Thank for you this video.

Aldous Huxley truly means a lot to me, despite having died before my father was even born. His book feel like genuine self-help books, in the same vain as how he perceived LSD, a mere tool that is up to the experiencer to decide. He has helped make so much sense of both the world, my surroundings and me on a frequency I feel like no person I know in real life matches, he resonates to me on this level never seen before. What I just do not understand is how Huxley (according to google trends) is becoming less and less popular, despite being ahead of even most people of our time. I really hope more people will find out about the man and read his works, because his genuity extends way beyond that of Brave New World: think about the books he mentioned here (Perennial philosophy, Island, Brave New World revisited) but also 'Ends and Means; and 'Heaven and Hell' (not to be confused with the 'between heaven & hell). There's just so much to learn from this guy, and if I had a single wish it would be seeing his reaction to the modern world and hearing his take on it. I think even he would be astonished at just how accurate his claims have really become, throughout reading the biggest works of his, I've only stumbled upon a single thing that didn't come out to be true, and it was so minor I don't even remember what it was.

Sgt. Pepper’s also has represented Simon Rodia, the Italian steel worker who single handedly built The Watts Towers and has been compared to Gaudi. He built the towers on the property that his house sat on, and after completing the work gave the keys to his neighbor and disappeared. The City of Los Angeles eventually received the towers, and concerned they were a public risk attempted to tear them down. But they proved too strong to easily demolish. The towers are today in the middle of the Hood® of South Central LA. Since Rodia was single, he could be said to deserve to be on the album cover more than Huxley, who was married…

I read the entirety of The Doors of Perception while sleep-deprived on the train, Heaven and Hell as well. It's a truly unique book, I haven't read anything like it before or since. One fascinating idea Huxley brings up in the book is what he calls 'the mind at large', comparing 'the mind at large' to a sort of foreign land accessible via psychedelics. It creates an interesting distinction between what the brain is capable of in general as opposed to its normal, survival oriented functioning. I'd recommend it to anyone interested in psychedelics, the nature of consciousness, and fans of art as well (he makes some interesting observations relating art and the perception of artists to the psychedelic potential of the brain)

I need to get around to reading Huxley's works. I myself used to be a psychonaut and thus find that I relate to fellow trippers fairly well. Tripping to find oneself is in my opinion the best way to use psychedelics. I will say though that different substances have different effects. On acid your brain suddenly thinks in ways you never thought possible and you have a nice light show. On shrooms it feels as if you transcend your body and the visuals are more aurora esque, I've also only experienced ego death on mushrooms. Though on retrospect lsd can have that transcendent feeling as well because I always knew it kicked in when I felt as if my brain was taking a back seat, I've also experienced seeing things in third person a bunch on lsd. So I suppose the major difference is lsd is more of a buzzing feeling while shrooms are a rooted feeling.

Utopia and Dystopia are 2 sides to one coin I would say the one difference is the choice to opt out if you dont have a choice to leave the system you exist in, it doesnt matter how good/wonderful it is to some or a majority or even everybody, its a Dystopia

After I read Brave New World I was like I'm out. I don't want to waste my time trying to understand politics and philosophy I just want to live. I don't care what becomes of the world and the people in it. But I have nothing else to do so I'm here.

The modern world is a combination of 1984, Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451. We're smack dab in the middle. Also, it would be interesting to have a video on Murray Rothbard and his application of the praxeological method, or of Hans-Hermann Hoppe's ideas on argumentation ethics.
