Strobe Talbott Quote on the Future of Nations and Global Authority

"The implications of transferring full sovereignty from individual nations to a world organization. Political unity in some form of world government will be necessary. Even if... any radical eugenic policy will be politically and psychologically impossible for many years, one must proceed with utmost care and inform the public about the issues at stake, so that much of what is now unthinkable may at least become thinkable." Julian Huxley

"Within the next generation I believe that the world’s rulers will discover that infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis are more efficient, as instruments of government, than clubs and prisons, and that the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging and kicking them into obedience. In other words, I feel that the nightmare of Nineteen Eighty-Four is destined to modulate into the nightmare of a world having more resemblance to that which I imagined in Brave New World. The change will be brought about as a result of a felt need for increased efficiency. Meanwhile, of course, there may be a large-scale biological and atomic war—in which case we shall have nightmares of other and scarcely imaginable kinds." Aldous Huxley
