The document discusses the importance of freedom of choice and when one should give it up. It references quotes from Aldous Huxley's Brave New World that show characters content with their lack of choice due to conditioning. Another quote says science must be carefully controlled. The secret of happiness is said to be freedom, while we are free to choose actions but not consequences. The document leaves the decision of how important freedom of choice is up to the reader.

“ “I’m glad I’m not an Epsilon,”

have made you no less thankful
that you weren’t a Beta or an
Alpha.”” (Huxley 74).
5. World State Part 2
“Science is dangerous; we
have to keep it most
carefully chained and
muzzled” (Huxley 225).

While we are free to
choose our own
actions, we are not free
to choose the
consequences of our
actions
