How Is Instant Pleasure Destroying Your Life? | Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley warned us in 1932: humanity wouldn't be conquered through pain, but through pleasure. In "Brave New World," he revealed how instant gratification, endless distraction, and comfortable numbness would create a prison where people love their chains. This video exposes how his darkest predictions have become our reality—and why most people are too distracted to notice they're enslaved.
