Huxley’
s Law is a name given to a rule posited by the
British author and futurist Aldous Huxley in the introduction to his dystopian novel, “Brave New
World”:
“As political and economic freedom diminishes, sexual freedom tends compensatingly to increase.”
It states that governments ease restrictions on sexual freedoms as a means to palliate the public as their political and economic
rights and freedoms are taken away. This can be done as a means to refocus the public’s attention away from traditional value systems and mores to physical pleasures and to distract a populace by making them think they are gaining more freedoms than in the past, when the opposite is
true.
