Huxleys vision was simple: it was a vision of a technology-driven, trivial society, drowned in a sea of pleasure and ignorant of knowledge and pain, slightly resembling the world of today. In society today, knowledge is no longer appreciated as it has been in past cultures, in turn causing a deficiency in intelligence and will to learn. In past cultures intellect was cherished, praised and honored. However, in present time our most honored members of society are our athletes and entertainers. Why do we no longer honor our philosophers, scientists, and innovators? Intellects keep the world turning. As Huxley portrayed in his book, Brave New World, society as a whole is slowly becoming more and more ignorant; if this pattern continues Huxleys vision will become correct and our society will be turned into a mass of stupidity.
