As I wrote before, I have become rather fascinated by the Brave New World story. I spent time on it yesterday, and a little more time on it this morning.
Every society must have a moral system, for man is a moral being. Even the World State of the Brave New World has its own brand of morality. What happens to those who deviate? They are banished or executed.
John Savage, a major character in the story, was executed as was his mother, Linda. Both were too deviant to be acceptable to the World State's norms.
If every society must have a moral system, then what is ours?
