Perhaps a change in course?

Those new features that I implemented recently, like "rise and shine", "quickies", and "news roundups" may be on the way out.  I dunno, I just don't feel right about them now.  There wasn't a "home again" last night.  Reason for that is that I wanted to watch Brave New World.  It struck me how much our culture is like Aldous Huxley's version of a dystopic future in which people rely upon drugs, are shallow and hollow people who only care about pleasure,  who cannot care for themselves- but have to rely upon a big brotherish state to control their lives and provide for them; and how all of that is controlled by an individual who is known for creating a massive corporation that invented mass production and the modern industrialized state, with its armies of mindless zombies without the intellect and will to change things.

What can the "savages" like myself do about this?  Be laughed at and ignored by the zombies?  Go off and be alone, only to be marginalized by the state and the zombies who are seemingly made for each other?

I am also struck by how people could care less about the truth and would rather believe a lie if it makes them feel good.  Telling the truth about these wolves in sheep's clothing doesn't seem to rouse the sheep.  They've been zombified.

So, perhaps the best thing is to go off and be separate.  Depart from them and learn to fend for myself.  Live the life that our ancestors lived.  After all, it kept them alive for millenia.  This Brave New World hasn't proven itself yet.  It is "New" after all.
