[Translated portion of tri-line's "miedo a pensar" video]

This society has been compared a lot to Orwell's 1984, and very little to Aldus Haxley's Brave New World, when we're closer to the latter than to the former. In Brave New World, Haxley creates a utopian society where sadness is seen as something essentially harmful, and therefore all efforts are directed toward trying to eliminate it, even forcing happiness through a drug called Soma. People in that world can take it at any time to avoid any negative feelings, anxiety, sadness, boredom, or simply awkward moments. That drug is the only reason a Brave New World can function, the only thing that maintains conformity and keeps them docile, allowing them to do what they've been socially programmed to do. Well, at least give them that happiness drug, you'll think, well, you're already taking it right now. Soma is your phone, it's the internet, Soma is the food you eat when you're not hungry, the TV shows and games you watch before you even feel bored. Soma is every aspect of life transformed into the most addictive form of entertainment possible. A modern drug, always at hand, with doses you can administer at any time to quickly achieve a state of gratification that brings normative dissociation, distraction at its lowest and most basic level. And you won't be able to achieve a state of deep investment with your cell phone. But that doesn't matter. What matters is that it's continuous and requires no effort. All of this isn't a new idea or a casual or accidental design. Give the people bread and circuses and they will obey you. Or, as they say in Spain, you must provide them with bread and bulls to do whatever else you want. And you know the funniest thing? At least they were given the bread. Old ideas, same goal. Distracted people conform. Amusing themselves to death. As Neil Posman would say, Orwell feared that what we hate will eventually ruin us. Haxley feared that what we love would become what ruins us. People will come to worship technologies that nullify their ability to think.
