Imagine a society with ninety-five other people looking exactly the same as you. Imagine a world where your ideas are considered of no importance and would only lead you to danger. Imagine words that lack originality or the extraordinaire. Imagine having no family or stable relationships with another person. Try living in a world where nature is considered disgusting. Doesn't it seem exciting and grand? [...Not]
Though I see why many civilians would become desperate and fall for the "Utopian world" propaganda, it is just an idea that looks good only in text, just like Communism. When its ideas are actually put to use by society, the result is a robotic and heartless society. People living in a Utopian world would not realize that they are living in a prison without bars, with the exception of John and Bernard Marx. Would I really want to be part of a predetermined caste system without even having the chance to prove my abilities? Why would I want to have a predestined life where the path was not paved by me?
After reading about the corrupted "perfect" world, I obviously would root for a free and democratic world one hundred and ten percent, but will it really matter if I am already immersed into the Utopian society, like the people of the World State? Due to so much brainwashing, I would already have become a robotic human, one who lacks true feelings or any inner control of myself, so I would not understand the point of being free and democratic. Why should I want to change when I, as a citizen of the World State, am satisfied living in a bland world as the way I am after all that drugging and hypnopaedia sessions?
