"The greater a man's talents, the greater his power to lead astray. It is better that one should suffer than that many should be corrupted. Consider the matter dispassionately, Mr. Foster, and you will see that no offense is so heinous as unorthodoxy of behavior. Murder kills only the individual-and, after all, what is an individual?" (Huxley 148).
Disagree, Individuality is a threat to a harmonious society.
The people in Brave New World have no idea what life is like as an individual. Society is not allowed to be separate. They're only allowed to be "equal" in their own castes. Their opinions and feelings don't matter. Everyone is forced to be someone that they most likely would not have been if they were given the choice to be an individual. The people are taught that being different is disgusting and wrong. They don't realize how the State manipulates them by telling society what to do and what to believe.
