Lecture by Aldous Huxley: The Ultimate Revolution (1962)
In a 1962 interview Huxley discussed the increasing realization of the dystopia he described in BRAVE NEW WORLD. (BNW was written in 1932). He speaks specifically about mind control, using that term quite uninhibitedly, and refers to conferences that were held on the subject of mind control, specifically that aimed at manufacturing willingness to accept servitude by making it seem pleasant.

Listen very carefully to what Huxley says about children just a bit after 3:40 into this segment.
Anyone who seriously entertains any doubts that the governments of the Western world were testing us not only for IQ, but also for character traits and deciding what to do with us (if we were suggestible) and do about us (if we weren't) from very early childhood, you are sadly, sadly mistaken.
Remember: in 1953, IQ testing was mandated for all children in the school system, public and private.
Of course, the discussion begs the questions: Can those who are less suggestible be made to be more like the more suggestible? If so, how? If so, would HIQ interfere with this process? If so, can its effects be neutralized? If so, how?
He begins to answer these questions when he bring up what he calls "the pharmacological method".
The Nazis, of course, were the first to fluoridate potable water. They found that fluoride made inmates in concentration camps more docile. In higher dosages, it also makes them sterile. Conservative estimates have it that fluoridated water lowers IQ by 5 points. Others say it lowers IQ by as much as 20 points.
Huxley finds it difficult to conceal his respect for Hitler's "infernal genius". Indeed, in a strange slip of the tongue, he speaks of Hitler in the present tense in this segment. Was it because Hitler is still very much influential in his mind? Or, did he know something that those who are not scions of "elite" families and highly-positioned members of Eugenics societies didn't know?
I have been discussing the world-wide phenomenon of reduced fertility on my profile. In Israel, one in six couples have trouble conceiving. Six times more people turn for fertility treatments in Israel than in most developed nations.
The country second to Israel, with about half of our fertility problems, or about three times more that of most developed countries, is politically pesky Iceland.

After out-of character blathering about the harmlessness of synthesized drugs (however, omitting to mention BZ interestingly); Huxley touches on the subject of brain implants in this section, saying that it was being carried out quite widely in the case of "the hopelessly insane" (and the hopelessly and intractably trenchant, i.e., the "incorrigible"?).
In part 6, which begins the questions and answers segment of the lecture; someone asked Huxley a question concerning what Huxley terms "scientific dictatorship". "Scientific dictatorship" is an intentionally misleading misnomer. Scientists are wholly controlled by large corporations and governments (the latter being the ex officio clerical staff and security personnel of large corporations). Scientists are deluded into thinking that they are essential, but the untimely deaths of a hundred top-flight biologists over the period of a very few years show that scientists working on "top secret " research are eminently expendable.
The dictatorship may be science-based, but it isn't now, and won't be, scientist-dependent. The corporate elite are practiced in the age-old ways and means of making those they depend upon loyal.
And (I know. I know. You're not supposed to start a sentence, all the more so a paragraph, with the word 'and'. Tough noogies. I like the dramatic effect.) frankly, there are many more people with IQs in the one in 30,000 range (presumably the IQ range of most of the best mathematicians and physicists) than there are jobs in the sensitive areas of the sciences.
What is said at the beginning of the next segment is extremely important. Listen to what Huxley says about the "oligarchy" not being a domesticated species, even though they have domesticated the rest of humanity.

To put the lie to this rubbish, simply observe the pomp and circumstance and protocols of very strict behavior that the royal families believe they must follow, and do so to the letter. Note the strict, stylized behaviors of the secret societies. The monied elite are roped in by "corporate culture". His illusion of being untrammeled is very interesting. They cannot so much as dress inappropriately for a given occasion. While it is true that they were not trained directly by the masses, as they trained the masses; the absurdity of their situation foisted upon them unnatural limitations and stylized, wooden behaviors and norms. More to the point still, the elite are wholly dependent upon technology to control the working classes. Somehow being in the wild and natural human state and highest-tech R&D and controlling the money system don't seem to jibe.
Listen to the conversation in whispers at about 3:00 into this segment.
Is the interviewer kidding about the lack of windows in the lecture hall being part of conditioning? They don't seem to laugh after the comment.
