He admits as much: "I give credit to the book Brave New World by Aldous Huxley for many of these ideas."
He basically presents Huxley's world exactly. His real contribution seems to be the analysis at the end. Specifically, the notion that individuality must be retained, as it is an "asset of society."
Slow pace, right, you're not in China. You know how fast we develop, even in this direction.
Even the sterilization is happening here. That's why we Chinese will one day control the world! Perhaps not the 'we' part, but still, some Chinese will control the world!
The advancement of globalization will usher in a need for a one world government or entities that global( financial regulators, IMF, UN). Basically some of the global entities we have now but with more power.
Globalization must happen or the consequences are dire. Ask Peter Thiel he'll explain this all to you.

"need"?
What makes you think that they'll get it right?
After all, they're the same folks who said that banks should load up on AAA securities that turned out to be significantly more risky than anyone thought. They're the folks who basically required US banks to own stock in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. When that stock tanked, those banks didn't have sufficient capital.
