While disecting Huxley's vision of a dys(u?)topia, we chat about:&amp;nbsp; How this should've been an essay Is this even dystopia? Boring mantra and cliches; and how they are the death of thought The passing of fads vs art Hedonistic &quot;happiness&quot; Ignorance of what you might want Biological manipulation Side effects of technology External vs Internal reasons for doing things Chestertons fence Scientific &quot;arrogance&quot; The ego when it is asked to elaborate on a conviction&amp;nbsp; Disagreeability in thinkers &amp;nbsp; There is also spoilers for the movie Gattica at 40:05.&amp;nbsp; This episode was a blast, talk soon!
