Final Brave New World Post

Are there really other like-minded individuals to Bernard and Helmholtz in exile, or was Mond just lying to make them more willing to leave?

How long could a society heavily dependent on stimulants even last? Would it gradually slip in effectiveness? (thinking of China's opium period)

How come, in both 1984 and Brave New World, the initial dissenters in the book are fairly important people who are pretty close to the government? Isn't that the opposite of what one would expect?
