The Irony of Freedom and Conditioning in a Brave New World

In a society that values conformity over individuality, the quest for true freedom becomes ironic. John’s exclamation about the beauty of mankind contrasts sharply with his disillusionment towards societal norms. As we dissect concepts of slavery and immaturity in our lives, we must confront what hinders our ability to think for ourselves. Are we conditioned to pursue happiness at all costs, accepting the poison that comes from others' expectations? This exploration challenges us to consider our relationship with freedom, manhood, and societal changes while evaluating what we truly value in life.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Are you getting it? • “How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world.” Why was it ironic that John said this? • “Don’t take that horrible stuff. It’s poison, it’s poison.” What are you doing that is poisoning your ability to interact? To think for yourself? • “But do you like being slaves? … Do you like being babies?” What are you a slave to? How are you a baby?

  2. Are you getting it yet? • “Don’t you want to be free and men? Don’t you even understand what manhood and freedom are?” What does it mean to be free? Are you free? Are you a man (mature)? • “Ford helps those who help themselves.” We live in a self-serving society. How would you like to see it change? Do you want to see it change? • “We haven’t any use for old things here…particularly when they’re beautiful…besides they couldn’t understand it.” Should we get rid of what’s old and replace it with what’s new?

  3. Are you getting it now? • “Happiness is a hard master—particularly other people’s happiness. A much harder master, if one isn’t conditioned to accept it unquestioningly, than truth.” What are you willing to accept to be happy?
