Would you prefer comfort or freedom?
freedom with comfort
>>945400
The Brave New World society seems intellectually vapid and normie as fuck, I'd rather live on an island like John.

Freedom & comfort. I plan to go full Arne Naess.

They're inextricable; if I'm not free then I'm not comfortable.
>>945400
Comfort is a form of freedom: Freedom from discomfort.
The argument is fabricated.
>>945400
It depends on whether you're talking about positive or negative freedom. Cos if it's positive, i.e. freedom to (as opposed to freedom from), then I can choose it and obtain freedom to comfort

good trips

Or you could be a world builder and develop a small but well read and intellectually stimulating book club to shitpost about modern society with before returning to your job keeping all the brainwashed normie fucks in order and enjoying the occasional soma holiday and orgie porgie. Or don't. You can do whatever you want senpai.

Freedom. The savages didn't even have it that bad, a smart man could live comfortably among them.
>>945664
The savages lived in the like 1% land that was so shitty it wasn't used by the world government. Think about that. They controlled the vast majority of the land and could have easily controlled everything but they didn't think the savage lands were worth it. Wasn't the reservation really hot and filled with mosquitoes?
Comfort. Freedom is a feeling, not a state of being. Let me comfortable so I can feel free. Since freedom is ultimately relative.

>implying you could get your hands on books
IIRC, pretty much all good books were banned. Only really powerful people like Mustapha Mond were above book ban laws.
>>945400
the magnificent moustachioed Mustafa Mond would be happy to give you freedom, if you ask
>>945721
but the only prerequisite for going into government is being inclined to ask and stick with it.
>>945925
>controllers are all people who didn't fit into society and constantly questioned it
>somehow the world government is incredibly stable
Something here doesn't add up. I know Mond said that when he got into power he eventually realized that the World Government was just the best thing for stability and the plebs were better off with it, but I can't imagine that every controller would come to the same conclusion.
those who choose comfort over freedom will have neither
>>945400
Comfort is depressing if you do it for too long. It's fine to take breaks from doing stuff, but why would anyone want a life of ambrosia?

>but I can't imagine that every controller would come to the same conclusion.
They've got a pretty strict system set up for them to manage and they work with others.
If one guy starts shaking the system up, I'm certain people will know.
With enough freedom, I can make my own comfort.
>>945972
>ambrosia
Because shit milk shakes suck. If I want to take a break from my comfort, I don't need the full weight of freedom. I'll just take a nature hike for a week or two.
