I agree with you. It's like 1984 style information gathering had a child with Brave New World's indoctrination through pleasure. Worst of two scenarios that are sometimes seen as opposing. I just said a thing that's popular and kinda a meme
But for the pleasure indoctrination to be effective, you need the same kind of information gathering proposed by Orwell. So the existence of a Brave New World like subversion through the exploitation of human tendencies already presupposes you have a kind of Orwellian network in place.
No. You just need to be familiar with the stories. The people in Brave New World don't accept their reality bec they were born into it the way 1984 characters were. Blending the two is like marrying rape with fratricide. No one asked for it. No one likes it. Just listen to this because it's fucked up
