well, inhabiting the mind of huxley wouldn't be very bad at all. also, i don't think this is what huxley was promoting to preserve with brave new world... i believe his promotion was that of a deeply rich and meaningful life. Things of this nature are more like the elements wrong within a brave new world; stupid mindless entertainment (after all, soma was described by him as "all the benefits of alcohol and christianity, with none of the defects"). "Dream in a pragmatic way." - Huxley ...after all, we need only look near the end of his life to see what conclusions he drew of all this as to what we ought to do: "In regard to man’s final end, all the higher religions are in complete agreement. The purpose of human life is the discovery of Truth, the unitive knowledge of the Godhead. The degree to which this unitive knowledge is achieved here on earth determines the degree to which it will be enjoyed in the posthumous state. Contemplation of truth is the end, action the means." (thoughts on the perennial philosophy, after he went mystic) huxley perhaps is not the name to invoke to defend human interests in triviality, or rejections of reason. invoking a reminder of huxley's ideas works well for rejection of trivial banter, rejection of living life as efficient strife for the accomplishment of the superficial (like finding this girl), and the rejection of making ourselves slaves to technological progress while making no progress in our deep understandings of life (like having successful startups and never taking the time to ponder the cosmic whole).
