It’s a pretty much foregone conclusion that, populism notwstanding, Aldous Huxley’s mescaline-fuelled Brave New World beat out George Orwell’s 1984.
Remember when porn was going to lead to societal chaos? Remember Tipper Gore?
Now it’s part of the glue that holds everything together.
Yeah we have gay marriage and legal cannabis in much of the US, but sometimes the most remarkable developments are so ubiquitous they are under the radar.
This is probably why young people are having less sex. Are we heading towards Japan?
I might argue that populism is actually a subliminal, last-gasp deep atavistic reaction to this trend.
