"Popé used to come often. He said the stuff in the gourd was called mescal; but Linda said it ought to be called soma; only it made you feel ill afterward" (Huxley 126).
In defending the statement, Science and Technology will help benefit humanity in the future, the quote above is useful for many reasons. First, everyone in London uses a drug called, soma, it is used for many reasons. One of the crucial reasons why most people use soma is because they want to be happy and forget about the stressful events in their lives. It's used as an escape goat to run away from reality. Now, Linda, who used to live in London, does not have any possession of soma anymore because she lives in the savage reservation. She substitutes this drug with a liquid substance called mescal. This substance is relevant to our society for the future because, today people suffer depression and tend to self harm to face their problems. The substance, mescal, is the same type of drug, to be happy and escape reality. Having this certain drug is very beneficial for the human race in the future, considering the debt and the job unemployment rates everyone will use this drug to escape the world and to not be stressed anymore. Overall, having soma and all of this special substances is helpful to society to reduce suicide rates and the less people who will feel depressed about themselves emotionally and physically.
