SOMA, THE DRUG OF A BRAVE WORLD
Sometimes you think that our political class (or whoever is ruling us) follows the guidelines of Aldous Huxley and George Orwell and their respective novels "Brave New World" and "1984". There are many who claim that we already live in an Orwellian reality.
On the one hand, "The Party" (single thought) of "1984" subjects the population to suffocating control and alienating propaganda that prevents them from thinking critically, with the risk of losing their lives or suffering public humiliation to those who do not demonstrate sufficient fidelity and adherence to the national cause.
For this, numerous demonstrations are organized, where the active participation of the people is required, shouting slogans in favor of the party and against the supposed "traitors". Only with such fanatical fervor can you escape the omnipresent surveillance of the thought police.
On the other hand, Huxley's "A Brave New World" introduces us to SOMA, a drug that is consumed every time people are depressed, in order to cure sorrows and control feelings.
The State is in charge of the distribution of this drug in order to control the emotions felt by the members of the community to keep them happy, a necessary factor in order not to endanger the stability of the Metropolis. SOMA can be consumed with any food, such as ice cream, water, or coffee.
And now on top of all of this, let's consider that about a year or two ago there was a news headline stating that Universities such as the University of Northampton (United Kingdom), prohibited these novels, along with others such as "V for Vendetta" by Alan Moore, considering that they included "explicit material" that some students might consider "offensive and annoying". We're talking about adult students, with hair on their balls. They really said "Offensive and annoying" material.
Seriously, it's all so surreal. Where are they taking us? Will reality once again be stranger than fiction? You bet your ass it will.
