--{ "Ep. 98 Nick Heys -- Brave New World REVISITED"}-- In this Real History, Nick from Heys Reviews and Melissa cover the first 5 chapters of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World Revisited. Who are the World Controllers? Why are they obsessed with Overpopulation? What are some differences between Eugenics and Dysgenics? Who was Alfred Mond, the inspiration for Huxley's character Mustapha Mond in Brave New World? Why is Over-Organization detrimental to Individuality and Creativity? What was the Stanford Prison Experiment? Why is this experiment (along with the Asch Conformity Experiment and Stanley Milgram's Obedience to Authority Experiment) so critical to understand? What is "Conspiratainment"? Nick and Melissa discuss these things and more, and share with you the next book up for covering in a Real History chat: Yevgeny Zamyatin's We, an important Russian science-fiction novel from 1921. "We" inspired George Orwell's 1984, and Orwell stated that Aldous Huxley had used concepts of the novel in Brave New World, something Huxley denied.
