True. I presume in a western democracy, it’ll will start one way, the Huxley nightmare way, and as Hayek himself noted in his book, once established, there is nothing that can prevent it from becoming something else, a George Orwell nightmare. All it takes to morph, to “change”, is a power-grabbing, conniving, reptilian, despot. Are we there yet, time will tell.
