I've read Brave New World. Huxley is interesting! I think we've got a confusion of levels here—I was not saying anything about Huxley or his book. My point is the entirely shallow and (I would have thought) obvious observation that an internet comment saying nothing but "It's a brave new world" in a biotech thread is a cliché and unsubstantive.

If the comment had gone on to say something deeper or more specific about Brave New World in this context, that would obviously have been fine.

Nothing else has to be said. Simple people like us don't need hundreds of page long dissertation in peer-reviewed toilet papers journal to understand basic concepts...
