Edit: Sigh… I got the dystopia wrong. Apparently everyone is apathetic in 1984 of their own free will and just drink, smoke and do morphine.

Brave New World is apathy through euphoria through soma.
Which yeah, drugged euphoria is not happiness.

      Yeah I thought I remembered a drug in 1984 but it is just gin and cigarettes and everyone’s brain making them apathetic.

      So even closer to reality except for gen z.
