Here's a link to the actual interview itself. It's one and a half hours long, so pretty long.

I love Huxley's forward to Jiddu Kirshnamurthi's (who was major influence on Huxley) book. http://www.jkrishnamurti.org/krishnamurti-teachings/view-tex...

Perhaps nowadays it is the iphone or android we use to self administer, no expensive drugs required.

Interesting idea. Perhaps we are already living in a version of BNW, with media and constant advertisements serving the role of sleep-learning.

>And the same way with various technological advances now, I mean we need to think about the problems with automation and more profoundly the problems, which may arise with these new techniques, which may contribute to this ultimate revolution. Our business is to be aware of what is happening, and then to use our imagination to see what might happen, how this might be abused, and then if possible to see that the enormous powers which we now possess thanks to these scientific and technological advances to be used for the benefit of human beings and not for their degradation.

Thank You

NO! Thank YOU, mr. Huxley.
