In Aldous Huxley’s book”Brave New World” people were allowed and encouraged to take Soma a drug to make dealing with the world easier.
If you you keep people drugged, they become compliant and unaware of the problems around them, between mushrooms, fentanyl and other legalized drugs people are becoming the same as in the book
Right you are!
I would have figured the modern day Soma was prozac. The drug companies are not going to like this one.
Huxley was looking forward to our own time when Christianity and the offer of life eternal in Paradise restored had finally disappeared from the hearts of men and women with the consequence that fear of death would fill men's hearts with dread and terror. Thus, Soma would make life easier by allowing people to forget the approach of death.
In our own time, WEF guru Yuval Hariri has recommended the widespread use of psychedelic drugs to make life easier for the great numbers of useless people... made useless by technology and Artificial Intelligence. Having said that, he now wants a mass extinction event to deal with the useless people problem.
For sure legalized marijuana manufactures more Democrat voters. More global warming activists too. Now add mushrooms to this mix
