Thank you for posting this. We are falling into a population crisis. Birth rates are dropping to a point of no return. That and what the professor talks about are linked. 1984, Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451 are all here.

Brave new world was in the end one of the best predictors for what is happening.

Another professor actually mentioned that he can no longer teach the book - as it’s meaning escapes students.

Today they see it as some demagoguery faux sexual deviant paradise. The youth can’t even understand why it’s a dystopia. And popular culture has actually made a recent series - where it’s hard to disguish based on their interpretation of the book - why the characters are in a “dystopia” rather than some type of utopian orgy.
