1984

“like 1984 and uh brave new world yeah you guys got the joke”

“I mean, hey, instead of watching the ninth NFL football game that weekend, turn it off and listen to an audio book, read the Gulag Archipelago, read 1984, read Brave New World, go deeper.”

“instead of watching the ninth NFL football game that weekend, turn it off and listen to an audiobook, read the Gulag Archipelago, read 1984, read Brave New World, go deeper, that it, the regime, hates an informed population.”

“Read 'The Gulag Archipelago,' read '1984,' read 'Brave New World.' Go deeper; that is the regime's hate an informed population.”

“1984 has been around for, whatever, 80 years or so now. That may continue, we can expect for at least another 80 years moving forward.”

“But as anyone that's read 1984 knows, the breadth of your language is directly proportional to your ability to think the thoughts that the language enables.”

“I am I can't work out if we're closer to 1984 or Brave New World. It feels like some awful love child of both. I think it's Brave New World. I agree. Yes, it is but it's not a love child like 50/50. You know, sometime in the future they're going to figure out how to engineer our DNA so”

“so you read 1984 which has been around for 50 years it's probably going to be around for another 50 years”

“if you have not read 1984 you have to go and read it especially if you like the idea of what George is talking about here I learned more from 1984 about the way that I operate then I have done from a lot of personal development self development books”

“if a books been around like 1984 has been around for about 50 years movie 7 years actually you can preview it will be around for another 70”

“so 1984 George Orwell like really good easy read a lot of implications that you can if you're a bit of a self development sort of buff that you can take and apply to your own life”

“I read uh so sacrilege, I know, but I only read 1984 last year. Um and that book, some of the conclusions that I drew from that piss all over so many non-fiction like productivity books.”

“If you've read 1984 we know that a restriction in language is essentially the same as a restriction in thinking because without the capacity to articulate the thought you essentially can't have the thought itself”

“um but uh of course we live in a clown world where uh two plus two equals five to quote your george orwell the late and great george orwell from 1984”

“but the second book you should reread every year is 1984 which is the year I was born and in this book”

“so that scene you're talking about where they're torturing Winston you know two plus two equals is five”

“yep exactly that's what the or what was the genius Room 101”

“I don't think that that could get you in 1984 the states knew your biggest fear and for Winston it was the fear of rats”

“orwell writes in 1984 the party communist tell you to reject the evidence of your own eyes and ears”

“that's why i brought this book with me 1984. if you haven't read it since you were 15 reread the book listen to it on audible whatever you do”

“All competing pleasures shall be destroyed. George Orwell 1984. Stop having fun.”

“1984 you've got the government lock down and collusion and censorship it's a little bit of all of them it's a crock pond it's Animal Farm of all of it”

“uh you know the in 1984 the reason they wanted to go ahead and go with new speak is because they wanted to get rid of the ability to think bad thoughts”

“this is the one of the Prophecies of 1984.”

“they said like in 1984 they're like um football uh alcohol and gambling are where are the three like signs of the end of the civilization especially gambling football alcohol and gambling I think those are the three that George Orwell talks about”

“they're telling you that we're fighting for freedom and then simultaneously it is 1984”

“is this like is this like 1984 where they're always at war with a country overseas and it's like every 10 years”

“as we talk about these these dystopian novels 1984 brave new world fair fahrenheit 451 even handmaid's tale”

“we learned the lessons from 1984 they were renaming streets”

“which is literally what happens in the book 1984. is that you're supposed to know that you know you you believe you believe the truth and you speak the lie”

“the party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears it was their final most essential command and if all others accepted the LIE which the party imposed if all records told the same tale then the LIE passed into history and became truth George Orwell”

“where he compared what's happening now to 1984 when they're asking you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears”

“it's like a brave new Fahrenheit 1984 for Vendetta exactly so uh Luke it's like you are here but I'm like I think he's missing one I think it's only he's only got three because you think about it's like you got 1984 you got big brother censorship spying surveillance”

“you know we had this teenage girl snitched on her parents and this is like totally 1984 level stuff that we're starting to see so kind of depressing”

“I guess we're kind of like 1984 yet it hasn't really hit the fan”

“at least nineteen eighty four would be funny then I drag I guess that's true”

“And yeah, the we are participating in I won't even call it an experiment, but a process that you read 1984, I'm sure, and most of your audience did. I was very heartened during the beginning of COVID that 1984 became the 17th best-selling book in the world in the English language.”

“mean if you read 1984 still a fantastic book”

“In 2020, a book that hadn't been in print, I mean, hadn't been published for 70 years, it was 70 years old, suddenly became a top 20 bestseller. And that was 1984. Was a top 20 bestseller in 2020.”

“I want to add in favor of Orwell that not only should people of course read 1984 and his excellent essay politics in the English language but also”

“i mean 1984 is good of course as well like if you're talking about you know dystopian novels of the future yeah it's a slightly different view of the future right but i kind of like identify with the world but more”

“Almost everything that's in most important to society has been written and captured in books. And if I know those books and I have access to them, then I can connect to people about, you know, I can, if you refer to Shakespeare or to 1984, if I don't know anything about George Orwell in 1984, I can't even have”

“I, you know, I don't think I've read 1984 since I was assigned it as a student, but I read it this year and I was like, my god, every student should read this, right? It's brilliant. It's incredible.”

“- Love 1984. Had never listened to it or read it, and then I think I did it on Talking Book”

“orwell's 1984. uh and i you know you asked what made an impression on me and books that people should read that one i think falls in the category of both now you know definitely it's one of those books that you read and you just kind of you know put it down and you stare in space for a”

“for anyone That didn't watch our 1984 on prageru the book club video They really should watch that because this is what they do with language basically us reading the newspaper even though 1984 by george orwell”

“In the same way that if you want to get to Orwell, don't just read Animal Farm and 1984. Read Orwell's amazing essays.”

“read 1984 write read 1984 and that tells you all that you need to know about how language is related to the thoughts that we have in our brains”

“Like is this a part of an Orwell book? cuz this doesn't seem like a real person would say something like that cuz who the is going to listen to that? It doesn't make any sense. Well, George was being rather accurate in time.”

“it's like this is it shows you how things can go that way with wrong speak and with bizarre Distortion of facts”

“even he probably been like wow he was probably if if you could get george orwell from you know the time he wrote 1980 when did he write 84”

“orwell talked about this in 1984”

“that is what is that george orwell that's 1984 that's double think”

“one thing I've heard is that they think that if they can convince you that the world is flat when it isn't then it's kind of like in 1984 where they get people to believe that two plus two equals five”

“and this is orwellian this is exactly what George Orwell wrote about in 1984 thought crime and face crime”

“I wonder if people thought 1984 was going to be a big year because of the book man I remember”

“Of course, "The Trial" is a work of fiction, but I think it is often useful to go to the surreal world of literature, even of the over-the-top dystopian variety like "1984," "Animal Farm," "Brave New World," "The Trial," "The Castle," "Metamorphosis," even "The Plague" by Albert Camus, all to better understand our real world...”

“Yeah, you've actually spoken about and described China as more akin to the dystopian world, a brave new world, the 1984, which is really interesting to think about, I think about that a lot of recently reread, over the past couple of years we read 'Brave New World' a couple of times, and also '1984'.”

“and then I read 1984 by George Orwell and Brave New World.”

“and this is what Orwell says in 1984 essentially is that if the hedonic will exists in opposition to other wills it cannot be a ronian general will”

“This notion is captured in Orwell's 1984, which suggests that if hedonistic will exists against other wills, it cannot represent a common will.”

“George Orwell has this preface, I believe it was for 1984; I'm not sure of the exact details now—it was around the time of World War II—and it was kind of considered heretical because its argument was that we think about tyranny in these melodramatic terms”

“I think it would bring in and has already in China I think it'll bring in a totalitarian tyranny so 100 complete that it would make George Orwell's 1984 look like a picnic”

“The issue, however, is there's often an unholy blend of 1984 and Brave New World underlying the specifics of their invitation.”

“and so now the more the power is the more the waves will the bigger the waves will be and so the image of the image that 1984 presented to us you know of of people going into newspapers and changing the the the headlines and taking the pictures out and doing that that now obviously can happen with just”

“In the end, the party would announce that two and two made five. And you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later. The logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality was tacitly denied by their philosophy.”

“It was George Orwell's 1984.”

“I mean it makes me think of like stuff you might read about in like fiction like dystopian fiction like 1984 where you have the threat of the thing that is what you base your entire strategy of control over the people on”

“originally this was seen as the classic conspiratorial belief someone who had maybe read 1984 a few times too many and became paranoid and they became assured that the government was watching them”

“1984 was pulled up was the one of the first books to be pulled off the Kindle”

“it is George 1984 they create double speak”

“so only reading Georgia 1984 and the animal farm that's when I understood what happened to my people”

“um so when i was reading this book by georgio in 1984 it talks about the man like winston who had a lot of wits and after that all the torture he became empty right like”

“so this is very 1984 if you've read that book every house has a speaker inside it that you can't turn off and it plays quote unquote the news”

“You know, as George Orwell authored in his dystopian novel, which is becoming our reality, 1984, quote, The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final most essential command.”

“Chris writes, "It was he writes, quote, this is a George Orwell quote from 1984. It was always the women and above all the young ones who were the most bigoted adearance of the party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers out of unorthodoxy."”

“exactly what 1984 the book by George Orwell suggests like they want you in in this everpresent.”

“In fact, in 1949, Orwell sent his former teacher a copy in '1984' and said, you know, 'Look, I've written this,' basically it's kind of almost a little edible like 'I've written this book that displaces yours,' he didn't say that, he just said, 'I want you to have this.'”

“And then there's 'Animal Farm in 1984' is a second book.”

“If you're over 40, you probably were assigned the George Orwell novel 1984, not written 1984, written in 1949 right after the Second World War, and it is famously a picture of the dystopian future where the state controls everything.”

“Like a 1984 Winston Smith thing. Like once you say 2 plus 2 equals 5, you're broken inside.”

“you just referred to Orwell you are rereading 1984 for the first time in 15 or 20 years you said it's been 40 for A and I think for a lot of people my age I I doubt it.”

“1984, you may recall, is a story about a total lack of privacy and a totally omnipresent government. Totalitarianism begins with no privacy.”

“and if you've read 1984 you know the base game plan of government control is you have to have an enemy and you have to slander that enemy regardless if you know anything about him”

“and you know famously in 1984 you know as you mentioned there there you know there's this concept of the telescreen which is basically the one-way propaganda broadcast device”

“so you know the movie uh or the uh the novel became a movie but uh the 1984 right the sort of the orwellian Orwell um you know totalitarian kind of thing that people use as a metaphor the technology in the novel 1980 and basically basically television”

“so the movie uh or the uh the novel became a movie but uh the 1984 right”

“No, I think it’s like in '1984', the two minutes of hate; there is a part of humans that wants to be tribal and wants to direct anger and get hateful.”

“I see on your bookshelf, I think the world is a lot closer to "Brave New World" than it is to "1984".”

“um so i and what else is very useful is it's a lot i think we're a lot closer to brave new world than 1984. it's a lot easier to manipulate a population through pleasure than through force and through oppression”

“And like we were I showed you this bit from Orwell and and you said oh well you said Orwell's anticipate this is prior to the most recent American electoral cycle.

“now it if you read 1984 years ago you couldn't fathom things getting like that”

“And the hacky thing obviously is to bring up 1984 and and the way language was used uh in that book and and it's so real.”

“And but this is where we really get to the Orwellian stage of what's going on right now because this is the sacrifice of news to ideology. And that is literally the storyline of 1984.”

“and that is literally the storyline of 1984 Winston Smith's job in 1984 in the ministry of Truth is to rewrite news articles to ensure that they Accord with the ideology of the party”

“So, I do worry about the potential for AI to be used to surveil us, censor us, control us as Orwell described in 1984. So, if that's where the Pope is going with this, I very much agree with him.”

“So to just to me this is the the biggest risk of AI actually is it's not it was not described by James Cameron it was described by George Orwell you know it's in my view it's not the Terminator it's 1984 that um you know that as AI eats the internet and becomes the main way that we interact”

“they will be running our disinformation board that critics are likening to george orwell's ministry of truth in 1984.”

“I go a lot back a lot to like George Orwell's 1984. You don't even see what's happening, right?”

“And I go back to uh George Orwell's book 1984, and he has a statement in there. He says, 'W whoever controls the present controls the past'”

“he said in his book that uh that January 6 was deplorable and now he says it's an inside job and that we don't know what really happened on 911”

“He also kind of referred to her as a stalinist too because he then he then invoked Orwell's 1984 which is obviously a book about stalinism”

“the more i began to realize that the cause of this or the basic cause of this is that our idea of totalitarianism depends on the cold war it comes from stalinism it comes from george orwell's 1984. in which the all-powerful state forced totalitarian ideology on people by making them afraid and by inflicting pain and terror on them”

“she's holding up the george orwell book 1984. this is so classic it's literally mapped out in 1984 which i've been reading and rereading in the last couple of years partly from my books and i was starting to watch one of the movies 1984 last night”
