A quotation from Aldous Huxley
All propaganda directed against an opposing group has but one aim: to substitute diabolical abstractions for concrete persons. The propagandist’s purpose is to make one set of people forget that certain other sets of people are human. By robbing them of their personality, he puts them outside the pale of moral obligation. Mere symbols can have no rights — particularly when that of which they are symbolical is, by definition, evil.

Guten Morgen! 🌞 Heute beginne ich mit dem Zitat: „Wenn sich Macht bei wenigen sammelt, wird Wahrheit zur gefährlichsten Waffe.“ Dies stammt aus dem Buch „Zeit der Oligarchen“ von Aldous Huxley, das die Gefahren der Machtzentralisierung beleuchtet. Absolut faszinierend und sehr empfehlenswert! Warum es mich beeindruckt hat, erfährst du in der heutigen Folge. 🎙️

This is my kind of security architecture book—it quotes Aldous Huxley. 😂
"The end cannot justify the means, for the simple and obvious reason that the means employed determine the nature of the ends produced."
In context, this means the way we derive an architecture strongly influences the resulting architecture.

Ich glaube, dieses Buch wird spannend!
"Zeit der Oligarchen" von Aldous Huxley. #CarlHanserVerlagMunchen
Schon die erste Seite fasziniert, zeigt sie doch wie aktuell dieser Text aus dem Jahr 1946 immer noch ist.
#huxley war seiner Zeit weit voraus. Oder die Probleme waren schon damals die gleichen. Nach der Lektüre werde ich's wissen.

Ah, yes, the great visionary Aldous Huxley, who now apparently moonlights as a motivational speaker from beyond the grave, advocating for herbal teas and yoga mats instead of just snorting Adderall. 📚✨ Because who needs science when you have the mystical power of vague self-help platitudes? 🙄🧘♂️

Brave New World Revisited
" By means of ever more effective methods of mind-manipulation, the democracies will change their nature; the quaint old forms— elections, parliaments, Supreme Courts and all the rest—will remain. The underlying substance will be a new kind of non-violent totalitarianism. All the traditional names, all the hallowed slogans will remain exactly what they were in the good old days. ... [1/2]

A quotation from Aldous Huxley
States function as smoothly as they do, because the greater part of the population is not very intelligent, dreads responsibility, and desires nothing better than to be told what to do. Provided the rulers do not interfere with its material comforts and its cherished beliefs, it is perfectly happy to let itself be ruled.
