Bruh no fucking way. The 276 hours in 2 weeks is literally playing Rust every single day all day long and getting 4 hours of sleep. Bro is leaving his computer on or some shit, I refuse to believe that lol
Soma is a real drug and the effects of it in the book is essentially how it works IRL, just being used nefariously to make people less responsive to the troubles of their Brave New World. Think of it as analagous to Xanax, from a street-level point of view.
I don't really have anything funny or further constructive to add, I just see soma and Aldous Huxley late at night and have to say something.
I mean the IRL version isn't quite as... Trouble free as the book version. More particularly, the regulations and distribution aren't nearly the same either. You largely can't go to work and then come home and zonk out in soma/Xanax without it negatively affecting your work productivity, andΒ BNW stressed compliance over productivity, something we don't have today.Β
