    • Aldous Huxley was right[1] What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance.

        Ah, another scratched liberal. Not all high and mighty anymore after being proven objectively wrong, again?

          Where is this objective proof you’re talking about? All I see are YouTube links and well-known biased leftist blogs.

          That’s not proof.
