Why is the world state against thinking? What is Huxley saying about this culture? What about ours?

The World State doesn't want anyone to question their actions..... if people are kept doped up with happy pills and left to suffer when they're not..... all they can think of is the happy pill. A world like this leaves little time to desire knowledge or challenge authority.

As for our society..... you need only look up the statistics for anti-depressant use......
