Sadly, I was referring to the fact that they learned that they needed to switch to different methods of control.

Personally, I don't care if the rest of the world is enslaved by soma, as long as a) they leave me out of it and b) they choose it themselves.

My core belief is that condition a just isn't possible due to human nature

I don't promote liberty coz I'm nice guy; it's preemptive self-defense!
