Brave New World 8

"Don't imagine," he said, "that I'd had any indecorous relation with the girl. Nothing emotional, nothing longdrawn. It was all perfectly healthy and normal." pg. 97

While reading the director's personal anecdote of his trip to New Mexico with his girl at the time, I discovered a flaw in the conditioning system. The conditioning does not prevent people from having the capability to relate to others in a deeper way. I think that the "savages" in New Mexico had an unspoken effect on the director that caused him to develop feelings of compassion and concern. With enough distance from the World State, I believe any person could gain individuality and separation from their predestination. But, any trigger will send the person back to their original mindset. Also, once a person experiences these deeper feelings, he is always reminded and conflicted by them, just like the director. I think this is why, in the World State, the people must obtain permits before traveling to places that have "savages." If too many people experience what is normality in today's world, then the social system in the World State will break down.
