I highly
believe the majority of Americans believe they've read 1984 by George Orwell
.... but they simply pretended to read it, or scanned their eyes over it with
zero comprehension or have a false memory implanted - much like everyone in
Dark City believes they've visited Shell Beach, yet no one is able to give
directions to get there. Because if they
read it, people would be screaming from the tops of the mountains.
The reason I know they really haven't read it is there is a
concept/vocab term in 1984 called "The Memory Hole" and "The
Ministry of Truth". The Memory Hole
is where information is eliminated that no longer backs the ruling party's
narrative. The Ministry of Truth is the
"Doublethink" "Ministry of Propaganda". The role of historians is to craft narratives
and then ensure they're consistent. The
digitization of all records and books will make it easy to CTRL-F Find and
Replace any information and replace it instantaneously with whatever version of
reality that want.
