They say “Bokanovsky's Process” is an imaginary technique for cloning humans as presented in Aldous Huxley's novel “Brave New World,” published in 1932. This method involves taking a fertilized human egg and, while it's in a test tube or petri dish, inducing it to divide into numerous identical twins, thereby producing multiple clones from one embryo.

📚Excerpt from “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley

“They could make sure of at least a hundred and fifty mature eggs within two years. Fertilize and bokanovskify—in other words, multiply by seventy-two—and you get an average of nearly eleven thousand brothers and sisters in a hundred and fifty batches of identical twins, all within two years of the same age. “And in exceptional cases we can make one ovary yield us over fifteen thousand adult individuals.”👀
Beckoning to a fair-haired, ruddy young man who happened to be passing at the moment. “Mr. Foster,”[5] he called. The ruddy young man approached. “Can you tell us the record for a single ovary, Mr. Foster?”
“Sixteen thousand and twelve in this Centre,” Mr. Foster replied without hesitation.

He spoke very quickly, had a vivacious blue eye, and took an evident pleasure in quoting figures. “Sixteen thousand and twelve; in one hundred and eighty-nine batches of identicals.”

You don’t say…🤔

Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" explores themes of dystopia, control, and the dehumanization through technological and societal means. One of the most controversial elements in the novel is the treatment of sexuality, particularly involving children, who are subjected to what's known as "erotic play." This is part of their conditioning from a very early age. By encouraging sexual play among children, the State aims to prevent the development of deep, personal relationships or family bonds. In this society, concepts like marriage, family, and monogamous relationships are seen as destabilizing because they foster individual loyalties that could compete with loyalty to the State. The idea is that if people are sexually satisfied and do not form exclusive bonds, they are less likely to feel the need for privacy or personal freedom, which could lead to dissent or rebellion. Sexual freedom from an early age is used as a tool for social harmony and to prevent the accumulation of repressed sexual energy which, in Freudian terms, could lead to neurosis or rebellion.

Does this remind you of anything?

By normalizing sexual behavior at a young age, the State ensures that sexual activity is viewed merely as another physical activity, akin to playing a game or sport, devoid of emotional significance. This serves to devalue sex and relationships, making them purely recreational and not tied to emotional or spiritual connection.

Huxley illustrates how societal norms and behaviors can be engineered. By starting this "education" early, children grow up without the taboos or the sense of privacy and individuality that might otherwise develop in a more traditional society. The emphasis on immediate gratification through sex (among other pleasures) aligns with the consumerist ethos of the World State, where happiness is equated with consumption and pleasure, rather than depth or meaning in life.

I am currently reading the book for the first time. I will be adding to this post as I move along. Have you read the book? Thoughts 👀

“Bokanovsky's Process” is a technique for human cloning, and gained mass popularity in Aldous Huxley’s book “Brave New World. This method involves taking a fertilized human egg and, while it's in a test tube or petri dish, inducing it to divide into numerous identical twins, thereby producing multiple clones from one embryo.

In Tinseltown, where stars shine bright,
Some say it's clones that fill the light.
Faces familiar, yet oddly the same,
Is it nature, or just a clever game?

Tinseltown's Twin Tale: Kidman and Montgomery, Glamour's Doppelgängers Through Time!

Could it be another episode of Bokanovsky's Process?

In the glittering, often surreal world of Hollywood, where beauty and talent are mass-produced like cars on an assembly line, it's not uncommon to spot a doppelgänger or two. Take, for instance, the trio of Elizabeth Montgomery, Barbara Eden, and Nicole Kidman. If you squint a bit - or maybe not at all - you might wonder if they're not just the product of some clandestine studio experiment.

Is it possible that Hollywood has been dabbling in a bit of the Bokanovsky's Process? You know, the method from *Brave New World* where one egg, divided and subdivided, yields dozens, even hundreds, of identical human beings? Only, instead of a lab, we've got the backlots of Burbank, and instead of a test tube, there's probably a casting director with an eye for a certain type of ethereal, otherworldly charm.

In Hollywood, they clone people; and it’s been happening since antiquity.

Elizabeth Montgomery, Barbara Eden, and Nicole Kidman must have shared the same cosmic mold, or maybe they're just the result of Tinseltown's version of Bokanovsky's Process: One talent, multiple stars, endless screen tests.

Perhaps it's not about cloning but about capturing a particular archetype of allure that transcends time, making us wonder if somewhere in the archives of stardom, there's a recipe titled: "How to Make a Star: Add One Part Montgomery, Two Parts Eden, and a Dash of Kidman."

In the grand tapestry of cinema, where reality often bends to the whims of creativity, these women might just be the proof that in Hollywood, magic is real - and sometimes, it's in the genes, or rather, the genes of the screen.

In Hollywood, they say everyone has a twin. It turns out, Megyn Kelly's was just Brad Pitt in disguise, proving that in Tinseltown, even the news anchors get a stunt double!

Stranger things have happened. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Megyn Kelly + Brad Pitt

This set of “stars “ = “Freemartins,” meaning both Brad Pitt and Megyn Kelly “were born this way…”

Freemartinism in humans is a condition where a female twin absorbs some male characteristics due to the exchange of hormones or cells in the womb with a male twin. Notable features seen in freemartins, one may find the female to carry Y-chromosomal material or other male-specific markers in her blood. As the fetuses placenta fuse, hormones and cells are exchanged. The male SRY gene causes the females to partially develop male testicals. The SRY gene is located on the Y chromosome and is pivotal in initiating the male sex determination process in mammals. It encodes a protein that acts as a transcription factor, which means it influences the activity of other genes by binding to DNA.

Freemartinism is best known in cattle, where a female twin calf born alongside a male calf often develops as a freemartin, being sterile. This occurs because blood vessels in the placentas of the twins become connected, allowing the exchange of blood and hormones.

Yup

Brad Pitt: The Art of Being

Brad Pitt has long been celebrated for his magnetic performances in films like "Fight Club," "Se7en," and "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," where he brings characters to life with depth, humor, and a certain enigmatic coolness. However, one could argue that his most compelling role might be the one he embodies every day: Brad Pitt, the person.

On screen, Pitt transforms into characters that often reflect different facets of his personality. His ability to convey vulnerability, strength, humor, and intelligence through nuanced performances has made him a beloved figure in cinema. Yet, it's this very ability to be both larger than life and utterly human that suggests his real-life persona might be his most significant role.

In a world where the lines between celebrity persona and personal identity often blur, Brad Pitt stands out. His life, like his films, tells a story of transformation, resilience, and an ongoing quest for authenticity. Perhaps, then, his greatest role isn't in any movie but in how he chooses to live, love, and contribute to the world, embodying a role that, while not scripted, is watched by everyone.

Megyn Kelly + Brad Pitt = Dual Characters + Multiple Skins = Controlled Opposition

Career Moves and Network Shifts

Kelly's transition from Fox News, known for its conservative stance, to NBC, which tends to have a more liberal audience, raised eyebrows among some conservative viewers. This move was seen by some as an attempt to appeal to a broader audience or to moderate her image, which could be interpreted as aligning with establishment media narratives rather than maintaining a consistent conservative viewpoint.

Public Statements and Controversies

Kelly has made several controversial statements, like her comments on blackface and her discussions about the appropriateness of certain types of political discourse. These incidents led to public apologies and were viewed by critics as her pandering to or being influenced by mainstream media narratives, thus not genuinely representing her previously known conservative stance.

Interactions with Political Figures

Her history with President Donald Trump, where she initially challenged him during a debate, followed by periods of reconciliation and then criticism, might lead some to see her as playing both sides of the political spectrum. Her recent support for Trump in the 2024 election cycle, after previously being at odds with him, might be interpreted as strategic alignment or opportunism rather than principled consistency.

Perceived Role in Media

Some believe that media personalities like Kelly are used to give the illusion of diversity in opinion within the mainstream media landscape. By having figures who appear to cross party lines or moderate their views over time, media outlets might be seen by skeptics as controlling the narrative while appearing to offer balance.

Critique of Mainstream Media

There's a broader skepticism among some segments of the public towards mainstream media, where any prominent figure with a platform who seems to align too closely with establishment views or flip-flop on positions might be labeled as part of a strategy to control opposition or dilute dissent.

Did you know it could take up to 17 days for a cloned body to reach a targeted age? Theoretically, accelerating the growth process to such an extent is possible, however, it is influenced by specific genetic modifications, which are not usually part of “standard” cloning procedures. Cloning, specifically through somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), involves creating a genetically identical copy of an organism? The more you know. 👀
