The Devil on Liberty

It may seem really, really lazy to link to another blog and direct readers to read the post, but this time it’s worth it.

The post in question describes, possibly without realising it, how we can reach Nineteen Eighty Four. It describes the changes the government has successfully made to the way people think (read Crichton’s State of Fear for a better understanding of that) and how these changes could be used in the future to control us.

So take a look at the best post Devil’s Kitchen has come up with in a long while. Happily, it’s also expletive-free!

    Thanks for the compliments, Gavin. And yes, I do realise the extent of what I am laying out, but I have already done much of people’s thinking for them — they much engage and use their own imagination of make that extra leap.

    Sadly, the vast majority of commenters are arguing about their own pet peeves and not engaging with the broader ideas.
