Edit: Sigh… I got the dystopia wrong. Apparently everyone is apathetic in 1984 of their own free will and just drink, smoke and do morphine.

Brave New World is apathy through euphoria through soma.
Which yeah, drugged euphoria is not happiness.

    Yes, this has been covered. I made a mistake and rather than edit it I just left it up with my shame. And edited the body text.

    Still stand by there is nothing science fiction in 1984 anymore and also that euphoria pills are not happiness. Just 2 separate thoughts my brain mashed together poorly.
