In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, the Controller Mustapha Mond articulates many of the basic assumptions of a world dominated by eugenics, the abolition of the family, sex without judgment, and psychological stimulants, where the business of the World State is to ‘make everyone happy’ all the time.  It isn’t only beauty and goodness that must be sacrificed for the State to be all-in-all, but also truth:

This absurd and illogical conclusion has been allowed to persist because of the accepted compartmentalization of knowledge in universities in their practices.  The reality, however, is that admitting logical contradictions and anti-humanistic tendencies to gain prominence in the humanities departments of the academy was always going to enact a pox on both houses.This article suggests how the STEM subjects are now in their trigger-hairs of the anarchists.
