  1. Julian Huxley - his brother helped create UNESCO and was its first Director General. Prior to that he also helped create the WWF. In total he was key to founding at least 4 NGOs/IGOs! Was H.G. Wells in on that "secret group" too? Is it fair to call them a "secret group"? It implies secret society.

  2. Brave New World is a paradoxical Utopian (distopian) novel. But at the end of his life Huxley fell for fallacy and wrote an actual Utopian novel called Island. I've read both but I think I'd rather live in Brave New World than Island! I joke. TBH, I could not suspend disbelief to believe in Brave New World. In contrast Island is way more plausible (realistic). So being an actual Utopian novel (rather than a mere warning) Island is a dangerous book as many people will take it seriously - as Huxley intented us to. Island was his (anti-Capitalist) manifesto.
