Brave New World: What would you rather?

In this novel, the government controls basically everything. They control their citizens by giving them drugs to keep them in a constant state of sedation. But they do not control the citizens by only using drugs. They also combat their sexual desires and have them take part in group sex parties in which they get a large group of people and have them all take part in sex. Sex in this dystopian society is seen as just a thing. There isn't any love or emotion behind it. It is just considered something to do that is pleasurable for both people and allows them to reproduce. My question is as follows; if you were a free minded person living in this society, would you want to live in a world that is love less and emotion less but you could be sedated and have as much intercourse as you wanted with basically anyone you wanted, or would you decide to not live in a this love less world?

  1. I personally would want to live in a world with love and happiness that could be experienced by everyone. A world where not everyone is just sedated and going through the motions in this society.
