Summary

Orwell & Huxley, Part 1 on Vyzygoth's Clubhouse. From the Vyzygoth Archives.

Devotees of Orwell and Huxley have endlessly debated whether one would likely be more accurate than the other in his dark view of the future.
Some think that one's prescience was necessarily the abnegation of the other's.
In these audios, besides discussing the wrong approach with which these books were presented in high school, they are more like metaphors rather than credible forewarnings about the potential dangers looming in the future. The strong points are also advanced and treated as confirmation that Orwell and Huxley, jointly, were far more right than wrong.
But now that the days they envisioned are upon us, how much of their dim views have come and are coming to fruition? And are readers of both authors any more aware that their signature works were not fiction?

0:07.0	you're talking about who's really running the show.
0:10.0	Well, we talk about government, but I don't consider it any longer politicians.
0:18.0	To me, government now is just a facade for those who really do run the country. Like I said, I mean, people who run for office, people who run this country don't run for office.
0:28.6	They're salesmen. Yeah, and they'll take the tomato hit every so often from the public, but that's what they get paid for. And to rail against Republicans and Democrats is now a complete distraction.
0:41.8	I mean, you were better off going down a 30 rock with pitchforks than you want to go to D.C.
0:47.1	But people aren't getting that.
0:49.1	And the one thing I've said time and time again, and that is, while these people are trying to vote for good government and good candidates, and there's a couple of rogues out there who I believe
0:56.9	were good, Adam Putnam from Florida was one of them, but he got out of D.C.
1:02.0	And I think I understand why. But my point is, you know, they're concerned about corporations
1:07.9	like Monsanto and, you know, you know, the Frankenfood and all this.
1:13.2	And they don't realize that the reason these corporations get away with it is because the people they vote for office are giving them slack.
1:21.0	And they're not putting –
1:21.6	Right, and it doesn't matter what party.
1:22.9	They all, in the end, they get support from both parties.
1:26.6	Absolutely.
1:26.8	Whoever they're given money to, whoever their boys are.
1:30.1	And it's amazing.
1:33.3	Just the things, you know, if you ask the average, like I've always said, if I could institute a reform,
