Huxley was definitely a modernist, his views on psychedelics track with that. Across every aspect of technology, medicine, society, etc. we have had to temper our optimism in the last 70 years.

I don't know if war and inequality would end overnight, but it would start to dig at the basic human desires that keep us all working and consuming and trying to get more.
