Our society has spent centuries instilling in our intellect the excellence of artifice. Educational distortion seeks to train students into unquestioningly repeating the doctrines instilled in them. Institutions seek to mold adults who live the tight lives dictated by institutional statistics. The System seeks to ensure that, at any age, our lives unfold linearly according to a perfect plan drawn up by the powers that be.
But with perfection, it's like with joy: if it were
omnipresent, it would lose its meaning.
Neither you nor I would want to live in the brave new
world fictionalized by Aldous Huxley—where
happiness is only achieved by crossing the gates of perfection—do we, Reader?
O wonder!
How many
goodly creatures are there here!
How beauteous
mankind is! O brave new world,
That has such
people in't.
William
Shakespeare: "The Tempest",
Act V.
