The background piano music to this video is annoying and distracting. just three notes over and over
Mock tomorrow
Thanks for watching the video and I hope the exam goes very well tomorrow.
The UN is doing a lot of this. People don't even know it.
This is what fascist Russia does in Europe. It devastates brains.
Very good and interesting explanation. I haven't read the book. I've only seen the 1980 TV movie. Looks like the biggest difference is the ending. I guess you can't very well show a mass orgy on TV can you?
This video was incredibly insightful for my Year 10 class in their study of Julius Caesar. Thanks again Dr Aidan!
beat to lebron pictures at diddys

You should also read 'Prey World' by Alexander Merow. It is more connected to our present time
*ANGER AND LOVE* In passion tempest, love and anger clash Their dance, a wild tango of fire and Ice Two forces warning, yet entwined they lash A paradox that leaves the heart unsliced Anger, a tempest with it's thunderous rush It's lighting strikes igniting wounded pride Yet deep within it's flames a longing year A desperate plea for love not to subside And love, the gentle rain that soothes the burn His tender touch, a balm for wounded souls Forgiveness blooms when anger flames Adjorn A fragile bridge across tumultuous shoals So let them coexist,the fierce extreme For love,in Anger's crucible reedems this is an example I made up😊
I really want to see a 1984 game
im writing in 2 hours thanks bro
Thank you for watching. I hope it goes well.
Machiavelli goal is extreme power to control the whole world. This can be achieved by causing people in a society to fight another societies, like a chain reaction, over trivial matters, and keep gaslighting , forever, to keep people exhausted. They will keep fighting each other forever. Therefore, they’ll remain weak forever, easily to control.
In conclusion, Machiavelli principles are , definitely , based on : Deceive ( anybody, regardless) , divide, destroy, and then , firmly, rule .
Undoubtedly, but, definitely, Machiavelli derived his conclusions from actual studies and analysis of how Italy’s rulers ,firmly , controlled the country, and stayed in power for a long time.
Loved your analysis. I think why this book is really such a good read is because it remains relevant timelessly. While ofcourse befitting the context of the Russian Revolution perfectly, I also think it reflects on the nature of power dynamics so well. Whether you consider British colonialism or just fascist forces in a country in general, the way that the masses are brainwashed into believing whatever narrative those in power churn out is something the book captures so beautifully. I'm an Indian and so naturally I was able to relate the book to the circumstances of the Indian freedom struggle and what made this comparsion more pertinent for me was that a large number of Indians then were illiterate just like most classes of animals in the farm, which made it somewhat easier to perhaps build a certain idea by feeding false facts which the people had no means of veryifying.
Very glad to hear that you enjoyed the analysis.
1:30 Doublethink doesn't involve lying to others, however, it *IS* still lying. Rather than lying to others, it is still lying. For doublethink to work, the one doing it must not be aware they are doing it. For this reason, in the 1984 universe, giving doublethink a name and teaching others how to do it is inconsistent. It is a necessary plot hole however. 1984 is more than just an entertaining story. It was a dire warning. Doublethink exists in reality, and not just in authoritative societies. It is something that has existed at least as long as rational thinking has existed. In the book O'Brian names Doublethink and explains to Winston how it works. This is contrary to how doublethink works. You need to remember, O'Brian isn't actually speaking to Winston in this scene, he's actually speaking to us, the reader. Doublethink is something humans do by instinct. You can't learn to do it in the way O'Brian wants to teach Winston how to do it. O'Brian is actually teaching *US* the reader, how not to do it.

Too bad that Lenina's fate leaves unmentioned in an otherwise excellent summary, but of course, she's just a woman.

Quote 8 - Give poor Miranda a chance! She is only 15, and has limited life experience, living on an island with few human contacts. The elderly King of Naples is still alive, so she will have time to grow, develop and gain understanding of human nature, before becoming queen.
This is the best summary video ever. Thank you so much :)
Delighted to hear that, thank you!
