Aldous Huxley - Revoluţia finală (1962):
Un
discurs al lui Aldous
Leonard Huxley (autorul cărţii Brave
New World) la Berkeley University (20 martie 1962), unde
vorbeşte despre posibilitatea instaurării unei "dictaturi ştiinţifice",
în care masele nu sunt conştiente de existenţa acestei dictaturi, ba
chiar ar fi mulţumite:
"And it seems to me perfectly in the
cards that there will be within the
next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love
their servitude, and producing a kind of painless concentration camp
for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties
taken away from them but will rather enjoy it, because they will be
distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda, brainwashing, or
brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods."
"Today we are faced, I think, with the
approach of what may be called
the ultimate revolution, the final revolution, where man can act
directly on the mind-body of his fellows. Well needless to say some kind
of direct action on human mind-bodies has been going on since the
beginning of time. But this has generally been of a violent nature. The
techniques of terrorism have been known from time immemorial and people
have employed them with more or less ingenuity sometimes with the utmost
cruelty, sometimes with a good deal of skill acquired by a process of
trial and error finding out what the best ways of using torture,
imprisonment, constraints of various kinds
But, as I think it was Metternich said
many years ago, you can do everything with bear except sit on them.
If you are going to control any population for any length of time, you
must have some measure of consent, it's exceedingly difficult to see how
pure terrorism can function indefinitely. It can function for a fairly
long time, but I think sooner or later you have to bring in an element
of persuasion an element of getting people to consent to what is
happening to them".

FIlmul e misleading. Se simte stangismul de la o posta (unions, illegal immigrants...).
RăspundețiȘtergerePacat. Avea potentialul sa fie un blockbuster.
Da, trage în partea aia.
RăspundețiȘtergereCalul de bătaie - "the corporations".
Inca o chestie. E spus in mod fals ca Adam Smith era total impotriva diviziunii muncii. In realitate situatia era cam asta: http://www.victorianweb.org/economics/division.html
RăspundețiȘtergereE clar. Filmul e o manipulare stangista.
De la jumatate intră mai adânc în subiect şi este mai evidentă orientarea.
RăspundețiȘtergereDe fapt, chiar apariţia lui Chomsky în prima parte dă ideea cam ce va urma.
Se face şi o legătură între violenţa cu arme de foc şi antiislamism, antisemitism si anti-latinos (se arată reportaje cu violenţe comise cu arme de foc) - "omul normal nu are nevoie de arme".
