As a traditionalist, you would have to agree with me that
there is no such thing as progress when it comes to the
human condition. There is progress of course with respect to
science and technology, but none of that strikes deep. The
Victorians made a huge mistake in equating scientific and
technical progress with human progress. Both "1984" and
"Brave New World" are manuals for our condition and our
predicament. Of the two prescriptions, only "Brave New
World" can solve the human condition by changing human
nature itself (gene manipulation) However, I do not believe
that we humans can ever take charge of our own evolution. We
are doomed, along with all other animal creation, by our
present evolution which has taken place over millions of
years (since life began on this planet).

biologically both mentally and emotionally by their
evolution. The problems that women cause are
need to worry that men are ever going to become too feminine
due to culture. Biology will always reign supreme.
