these days everyone wants freedom...wtf! freedom won't feed u
but thank god...we are already moving in right direction...
we are specializing in certain skills but still its a weaker version of it...
a more stronger and better version would be like cells in multi-cellular organisms or insects in insect-colonies... in both these examples, an individual is more or less dumb n meaningless but as a colony they act intelligently and that strategy has proven to work... after all ants are here for millions of yrs... as described in BNW, why not make people specialists in more basic things like reproduction etc., this will not work in today's world coz ppl still think making someone deprived of so called freedom, sex etc., is cruel... may be it sounds like tht for u too..after all we are made to think like that... but wut if one day we can reduce testosterone n estrogen levels and make drones for work n these hormone rich individuals for procreation?? wut if we can engineer our preferences and make drones think they r the happiest creatures in the world?? why all this stupid struggle for mating n wasting time and money?? if we want to live n survive then why not do that more efficiently? i think this dream is not far way... once we reverse engineer brain, this can be possible...
Advances in neuroscience will one day make this utopian world a reality...
i am waiting for that day...
always remember...
'u can fight a lot of enemies and survive... but if u fight ur own biology or nature.. u will always lose'
PS:
I am pretty much disappointed to see BNW being categorized as dystopian!! it is in many ways similar to 1984 and i have no problem classifying 1984 as dystopian and i guess u can clearly see why...(in case u dint read 1984, it relies on forced methods and punishments to control people) but BNW doesnt force you but molds you and wuts the problem with that?
as long as people think they are happy doing something and its useful to society as a whole, it doesnt matter what they do and revolutions make no sense... who wants freedom with poverty and problems?
i think its an epitome of utopian society...

A Human Being is inherently capable of emotions - love, happiness, pleasure etc. If you want to make drones who feel that they are "the happiest creatures", you are removing the most important part of them which defines their humanity.
Its not always happiness that people seek in the regular sense of the word. Agreed, the drone might not have any emotional needs (by virtue of some 'brain engineerning'), but if you remove the part of his mind that creaves for truth and knowledge he is no more a human being. It's like Neo in the matrix, he has a pefecrtly good job etc otherwise, but that craving for truth is what makes him human.
With the current way the world is, the way the human society works is, at best, screwed. We do have a lot of problems, but effort is needed to try and solve these problems. In spite of the problems you mentioned, people are surviving, the world is progressing -- and you dont mercy kill (euthanasia) someone by force just because he has a small fever !! If you think the conversion of human's to zombie slaves (very happy ones at that) is ethical, then no go ahead.
humanity??!!!! wuts tht?? we defined it... n i am not talkin abt ppl being happy or retaining this quality u call humanity... i m jus sayin wut i think might be the next optimal solution for survival...
yes... humans r surviving but its not abt survival but optimal solution tht comes out of evolution (this is my belief)
wut say u?
