Pre-Programmed? Do You Believe You Are? | Brave New World, Aldous Huxley

Pre-Programmed? Do You Believe You Are?

In this episode of Champion Reads, hosts and executive producers Jon Kovach Jr. and Ian Stermer dive into Aldous Huxley’s classic, Brave New World, and explore a powerful question: Are we really thinking for ourselves—or have we been pre-programmed by society to think the way we do?

Jon and Ian unpack themes of conditioning, control, comfort, and conformity, drawing parallels between Huxley’s dystopian world and our modern reality. From media influence to cultural expectations and social norms, they challenge you to examine where your beliefs come from—and what it truly means to choose your own thoughts.

Tune in, reflect deeply, and ask yourself: How much of “you” is really you?
