Huxley is to me a curious example because many of the themes written about on that page is quite mainstream if we ignore the specific dated references, even amongst "normies". The idea that we are more like Brave New World than 1984 is so mainstream that it is a fairly common argument to drop on social media. Losing your dayjob is far from a guarantee just on that basis. This is what I wanted to illustrate, that many of the ideas we think are forbidden are just ideas that are natural for our material circumstances. The irony is that even if we are discussing anti-totalitarian measures as in this essay, we are still adopting the 'architect' mindset towards the rest of the population.
