"'And if you were an Epilson,' said Henry, "'your conditioning would have made you no less thankful that you weren't a Beta or an Alpha'" (Huxley 74).
The government using hypnopaedia to control all of the citizens in society. After they manipulate their births to place them in a specific caste, they use sleep teaching to ingrain certain messages into their brains. Everyone is sleep taught to believe that their caste is the best one for them. This scientific and technological advancement does not benefit humanity because it squashes all the peoples' ambitions. If they think they are in the best place in society, they will never have a desire to work towards something. Hypnopaedia hypnotizes people and tricks them into believing they are where they belong. It takes away their ability to think freely, because the phrases are repeated to them so many times that they eventually accept them to be undeniable truths. The government uses this to have absolute control over its people. The people can never overthrow the government because they are hypnotized and so distracted that they do not realize anything is wrong.
