Coiled

            A social engineering feat like this depends upon the complete conquest of nature—not “nature” as in trees and bees, but nature as in human nature. Aldous Huxley was not a Christian, but the portrait he paints is deeply teleological. The dark mirror of Brave New World shows that the human person is not a blank slate, a tabula rasa awaiting social construction. The regime has to work against a pre-social nature that is continually threatening to reassert itself. The state in Brave New World has its own synthetic telos to impose, and because telos is connected with nature, the state must work tirelessly against human nature, systematically and violently undoing any enduring bonds of love between people, any natural inclination toward beauty and wholeness. Marriage has been eradicated, and indeed any form of committed monogamy is illicit. There 115 are no natural family units or any family units at all—the term “mother” has become an obscenity.
