Popé

Savage reservation, New Mexico


Dear Popé,





It has been quite a while since I arrived here to the civilization and let me say it is not as my mother and others used to say. For many of the people living here this is the "perfect society", it has no flaws. This statements are far away from what I've seen so far in London.

Since they are born they are separated into different castes, this castes are divided in how intelligent they will be and what job they will develop in the future: the two top tiers are the alphas and betas not only socially but intellectually and governmental. Alphas tend to be more like leaders of science and others fields, and they are chosen to be world controllers or DHC. Betas do this too, but they are more developed in the artistic area. Then the list is followed by the gammas they are what is used to be called average, they develop office work and others jobs like administrate. The deltas are not totally dumb, but smart enough to do the work that nobody else want to do and for last the epsilons they are semi-retarded, and do mainly cleaning work.

You will certainly ask, how they do too kept under control all the castes? they do a conditioning when they are born, they sleep with recorded propaganda playing under their pillows and by an electroshock system. If they actually manage to rebel to the system, they are taken away to be re-educated, like in the case of my friend Bernard he was threatened to go to Iceland. Oh! I forget to mention they are born throw two different processes depending in which castes they will belong. The alphas and betas are born from a single fertilized egg. But in the case of the remaining castes they go throw the Bokanovsky process in which one egg is fertilized and splitted up into identical genetics copies of the original, this process can be repeated several times making 72 a good average. This is way different from what are we used to see like a normal pregnancy.

When it comes to each day problems, in my point of view they have a very unorthodox way to solve them. They take "soma", this is a hallucinogen drug, this drug create a certain feeling to the person that takes it, they say that is a holiday and depending on how much they take is the time they fall asleep. They say that brings all the advantages of Christianity and alcohol, but none of their defects. When I first hear this I went on rage and destroyed a large amount of "soma" supplies, this is an offence towards our religion they should respect us more. They believe in Ford as their "God" because he is the one that started with the industrialization.

Since they are born they are sort of brain-washed and they think that their civilization is constructed under the values of freedom and happiness, but for what I've been watching this far this is only a mere illusion. I recently talked with Mustapha Mond who is one of the seven world controllers, and what I found would be scary to our society. They make a VPS treatment compulsory, this is a violent passion surrogate. Once a month they flood the whole system with adrenin, it is the complete physiological equivalent of fear and rage. They don't have inconveniences, they prefer to do things comfortably. They say we are claiming the right to be unhappy by don't wanting to be comfort, or wanting things like religion, poetry and danger. I found this the other way around we are born to live with this characteristics and this is the way we are going to mature, and live a more pleasant life. Please tell me what you think about this.








Sincerely,


John




Rationale:

“Brave new world” is a well know novel written by Aldous Huxley, this novel anticipates the development of technology and culture. Describing a utopia, in an ironic and ambiguous way. Every bad thing has been eradicated as well all the danger that surround us now, so everyone is permanently happy although this happiness is achieved by leaving somehow humanity behind, all the cultures, religions and many other things have been erased in order to complete this goal.



Throw this letter written by John “the savage” I will explain the different aspects and qualities of the civilization, compared with the savage reservation in New Mexico. I mainly chose this text type because my intention was that Popé knows the truth about what is going on here, and realise that it is not as perfect as Linda used to say. This letter is mainly informal because John although he read, he did not manage the language that well, so I wanted to give the liberty that he can express in a more smoothly way.
