Chapter 4 analysis

So what we regard as morals today are the complete opposite of what they believe in. I think it must be a very lonely life if you don't have someone to spend it with, and just have sex with everyone. I noticed that the word "pneumatic" is used a lot, and this is what it means: containing or operated by air or gas under pressure; of or relating to the spirit. I don't know which one is being used when describing people, as it can be used to say that someone is "air-headed". And it's also used to describe a sofa.  It seems like Bernard's inferiority complex somehow relates to his having more morals than anyone else, as does Helmholtz's. There are "stereotypes" ? for each class, meaning that Alphas should be bigger and everyone is smaller as the social class gets lower. Because Bernard is small, some people automatically assume he isn't in the class that he is. This could be connected to today, where stereotypes are (but are becoming less) prevalent within our society.
