Description Which is more disturbing: the thought that human beingsΒ might be reduced to such a state, or that they might choose it for themselves?

It appears that no matter where I go, whether Youtube or Tumblr, I seem to find the weird side of anything....
I don't even know how, I went from a picture of a wolf in sheep's clothing (literally) and then I end up here.
Great art by the way, seriously. Them teeth though.... their like lampreys....

Of course choosing it for themselves. What kind of torture would be needed for someone to chose to do this to themselves?

Reminds me of the final scene of 'Animal Farm' -Aldous Huxley. The pigs learned to stand, they stood around sharing drinks in the farm house and there was no longer a clear distinction between the humans and the pigs

The inverted barbed wire fence creates a suggestion of state sponsored force. We are already pigs in a pen. People believe in freedom only because they've never tried doing something the state doesn't like.

I question the statement being made by this painting, can one be viewed this way if they consume knowledge, or if they create whilst also consuming? I just think that the view being put forth by this painting is too cynical and short sighted, and represents a fundamental lack of observing the complexity of the lives of others.

Hmm..how about that they weren't aware of the consequences of their choice? Personally, I abhor badly grounded decisions, lacking essential information. Maybe because we have so many of these even daily.

It reminds me of the message in Brave New World. That a "perfect" world is one in which people have chosen entertainment over art, instant gratification over personal growth and lifetime of hormonally manipulated youth over age and wisdom.Β 

If the people in Β Huxley's Brave New World had a soul, their souls would look like these poor deformed creatures in your pic.Β
