Very perceptive Mr Huxley, but I don't think even he saw the penchant for millions of people voluntarily muzzling themselves coming. Did anyone, could anyone ?

its right there, in black and white, sepia even...Sinkov, as Orwell, Jack London, Zamyatan...and many others, the writings on the Pyramid wall, subordinates paying homage and allegiance to their overlords, for how long ?...and when the time came when their services were no longer required, when they could be replaced by machines, or live like machines....those self-appointed chosen ones who constructed the reliance and habituated the people into believing themselves lost without their Rule....would think nothing of thinning the Planet of unnecessary excess. It was Inevitable.

....is still preventable.

Problems of the DAY by Shri P. R. Sarkar

The human race has only one culture. I am not prepared to accept that there are numerous cultures. But then, this much can be said: the dances, songs, pronunciations and festive celebrations of various groups of the human race have their local peculiarities. These local peculiarities, or differences in manners and customs, cannot be considered separate cultures.
Such differences in the local manners and customs of human beings cannot be removed by the force of law or by dictatorial rule. If attempts are made to destroy local manners and customs, languages, and other social conventions in the name of national unity, human unity, or national sentiment, in all likelihood that will result in the escalation of mutual distrust and violence, which will lead collective life down the path of destruction.
I am in favour of social synthesis. In my opinion, the more intimately people associate with one another and the more closely one corner of the earth comes to another corner, the more local specialities in customs and manners will create newer forms as a result of frequent intermixing. The flowers of different gardens will be gathered together and transformed into a bouquet. The beauty of the bouquet will be no less than the beauty of the individual flowers, rather it will be more beautiful. The melody of Dhrupada will be transformed into Kheyal, while classical music will be changed into kiirtana, baʼul, bha’t’iya’lii, ja’rii, darbeshi, etc. If different countries or if people of so-called different communities show enthusiasm for increasing social interaction and matrimonial relations, within a very short time social synthesis can be achieved. To some extent we notice the positive effects of such synthesis in cosmopolitan cities.
