00:01:56   fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury why don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/116">TS</a>]

00:02:06   four was published in 1949 so both [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/126">TS</a>]

00:02:09   post-war fairly quickly post-war [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/129">TS</a>]

00:02:12   dystopian visions often assigned in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/132">TS</a>]

00:02:17   school like I said along with the may be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/137">TS</a>]

00:02:19   brave new world you can tune him to like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/139">TS</a>]

00:02:22   an hour and a half of John and I talking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/142">TS</a>]

00:02:24   about brave new world a sophomore lid we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/144">TS</a>]

00:02:27   covered that one who is a weird one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/147">TS</a>]

00:02:29   um about regrets a lot of credit mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/149">TS</a>]

00:02:32   he's written so many different kinds of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/152">TS</a>]

00:02:35   works and he always gets credit for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/155">TS</a>]

00:02:36   being very kind of lyrical writer [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/156">TS</a>]

00:02:38   beautiful writer it is prose style is is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/158">TS</a>]

00:02:42   remarkable and i was struck I read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/162">TS</a>]

00:02:45   fahrenheit 451 at some point but I feel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/165">TS</a>]

00:02:47   like I probably retained none of it so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/167">TS</a>]

00:02:51   revisiting it now was kind of fun but I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/171">TS</a>]

00:02:53   was also struck by the fact that it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/173">TS</a>]

00:02:55   not it was not at all what I expected [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/175">TS</a>]

00:02:59   and although i did at several points [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/179">TS</a>]

00:03:01   stop and appreciate how how much effort [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/181">TS</a>]

00:03:05   was being put into the into the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/185">TS</a>]

00:03:07   pro-style when it would where everybody [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/187">TS</a>]

00:03:09   else is kind of impressions with her of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/189">TS</a>]

00:03:11   fahrenheit 451 John did you read this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/191">TS</a>]

00:03:13   first live with this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/193">TS</a>]

00:03:14   yes this was actually I think maybe my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/194">TS</a>]

00:03:16   third or fourth episode so I read this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/196">TS</a>]

00:03:19   about a year ago I I have to say I'm a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/199">TS</a>]

00:03:22   fan of bradbery's pro-style but this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/202">TS</a>]

00:03:24   this seems like kind of early days to me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/204">TS</a>]

00:03:27   like he's he's finding his way along [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/207">TS</a>]

00:03:30   this he famously wrote this book at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/210">TS</a>]

00:03:33   night on a typewriter in a college [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/213">TS</a>]

00:03:37   university because he didn't have a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/217">TS</a>]

00:03:40   typewriter of his own and it really does [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/220">TS</a>]

00:03:43   feel kind of like a guy out to prove [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/223">TS</a>]

00:03:46   himself to me and I think there's a lot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/226">TS</a>]

00:03:48   of really beautiful stuff in here [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/228">TS</a>]

00:03:49   there's a lot of stuff in here that also [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/229">TS</a>]

00:03:51   seems to me like he's approaching with a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/231">TS</a>]

00:03:54   bit of a chip on his shoulder because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/234">TS</a>]

00:03:57   he likes to kind of yeah i'll get into [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/237">TS</a>]

00:04:00   this later but Bradbury strikes me as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/240">TS</a>]

00:04:03   someone who wants to kind of show off a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/243">TS</a>]

00:04:04   little bit of what he knows you know by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/244">TS</a>]

00:04:07   pulling out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/247">TS</a>]

00:04:08   cicero and pulling out matthew arnold [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/248">TS</a>]

00:04:11   and stuff i think but i but I i like it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/251">TS</a>]

00:04:13   i thought that there were passages that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/253">TS</a>]

00:04:16   were just beautiful and strange III this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/256">TS</a>]

00:04:20   time reading through i really loved the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/260">TS</a>]

00:04:23   depiction of the Hound which doesn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/263">TS</a>]

00:04:26   really pay off in in any major way in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/266">TS</a>]

00:04:29   just how does this ever-present threat [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/269">TS</a>]

00:04:32   but just the idea this crazy biomorphic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/272">TS</a>]

00:04:36   robot that makes no sense at all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/276">TS</a>]

00:04:40   I i like that i like it only one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/280">TS</a>]

00:04:41   Bradbury doesn't even try to make sense [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/281">TS</a>]

00:04:43   got worried about you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/283">TS</a>]

00:04:45   well I read this book many years ago and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/285">TS</a>]

00:04:49   of course remember nothing about it now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/289">TS</a>]

00:04:51   especially if i had read it last year I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/291">TS</a>]

00:04:54   wouldn't remember anything about it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/294">TS</a>]

00:04:55   let's be honest except of course the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/295">TS</a>]

00:04:58   whole lido with a bird books he's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/298">TS</a>]

00:05:00   firebender and they burn books that i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/300">TS</a>]

00:05:02   remembered so I didn't remember that it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/302">TS</a>]

00:05:04   was broken up into three sections i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/304">TS</a>]

00:05:06   didn't i didn't remember the Hound [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/306">TS</a>]

00:05:08   though that would stick out in my mind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/308">TS</a>]

00:05:10   as well but i really like it I mean I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/310">TS</a>]

00:05:13   thought that it was striking you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/313">TS</a>]

00:05:17   the chat the part that struck me the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/317">TS</a>]

00:05:19   most is when what's-his-name on tog [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/319">TS</a>]

00:05:22   explains or or his boss explains baby [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/322">TS</a>]

00:05:27   explains to to Montague why they burn [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/327">TS</a>]

00:05:31   the books and you know it wasn't a law [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/331">TS</a>]

00:05:33   it was just that you know people we're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/333">TS</a>]

00:05:36   just looking for faster entertainment [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/336">TS</a>]

00:05:39   and filling up their minds with with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/339">TS</a>]

00:05:41   nonsense and that just got me to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/341">TS</a>]

00:05:43   thinking about Twitter and then I got [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/343">TS</a>]

00:05:45   sad [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/345">TS</a>]

00:05:46   stop reading and you can burn Twitter [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/346">TS</a>]

00:05:49   unfortunately can't do that i've i've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/349">TS</a>]

00:05:51   tried many times to set your computer on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/351">TS</a>]

00:05:54   fire [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/354">TS</a>]

00:05:55   that's right it's not that right erica [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/355">TS</a>]

00:05:57   was your experience with fahrenheit 451 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/357">TS</a>]

00:05:59   I had never read either one of these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/359">TS</a>]

00:06:01   books before actually I didn't have to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/361">TS</a>]

00:06:03   read them in school and I thought maybe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/363">TS</a>]

00:06:06   I tried reading Fahrenheit 451 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/366">TS</a>]

00:06:08   previously and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/368">TS</a>]

00:06:10   didn't get through it because I just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/370">TS</a>]

00:06:11   didn't like it but if that's the case [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/371">TS</a>]

00:06:13   then I really forgot everything about it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/373">TS</a>]

00:06:15   because I didn't remember anything [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/375">TS</a>]

00:06:18   reading this I mean the only thing I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/378">TS</a>]

00:06:20   knew was the look you know 451 in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/380">TS</a>]

00:06:22   burning books like that was that was it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/382">TS</a>]

00:06:24   I didn't even know the fireman thing so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/384">TS</a>]

00:06:26   that was that was all new to me and I i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/386">TS</a>]

00:06:29   agree with John that the the pros is is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/389">TS</a>]

00:06:33   beautiful but honestly book really kind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/393">TS</a>]

00:06:37   of angered me because it very much seem [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/397">TS</a>]

00:06:40   like oh he's coming from a place where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/400">TS</a>]

00:06:46   culture and people who like you know a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/406">TS</a>]

00:06:48   literature but looks you know they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/408">TS</a>]

00:06:50   going to be the downfall of us all like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/410">TS</a>]

00:06:53   I'm like that's rich coming from a guy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/413">TS</a>]

00:07:20   yeah that this was another one that we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/440">TS</a>]

00:07:22   had you know that hundreds of copies [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/442">TS</a>]

00:07:25   sitting around in high school and you'd [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/445">TS</a>]

00:07:26   see them from the various English [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/446">TS</a>]

00:07:28   classes because we had the big open [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/448">TS</a>]

00:07:30   space classrooms with like three classes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/450">TS</a>]

00:07:33   once it was like you tons of storage and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/453">TS</a>]

00:07:35   it was one that i wanted to read and and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/455">TS</a>]

00:07:37   our english classes never read them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/457">TS</a>]

00:07:39   it was really weird i never got to read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/459">TS</a>]

00:07:41   either one of these in high school [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/461">TS</a>]

00:07:42   except by choice and so I did I think I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/462">TS</a>]

00:07:45   did them senior year just for kicks and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/465">TS</a>]

00:07:48   coming back to it now I i remember the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/468">TS</a>]

00:07:52   time I had read a lot of Bradbury and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/472">TS</a>]

00:07:55   this really stood out as very different [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/475">TS</a>]

00:08:00   from a lot of what he was writing at the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/480">TS</a>]

00:08:02   time and but it's the only thing of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/482">TS</a>]

00:08:05   those early like you know early fifties [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/485">TS</a>]

00:08:08   Bradbury that that's stuck in my head [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/488">TS</a>]

00:08:10   and I don't know why cause I haven't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/490">TS</a>]

00:08:11   come back to the other Bradbury which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/491">TS</a>]

00:08:13   that might be part of it to the only [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/493">TS</a>]

00:08:15   Bradbury I had to read in school was a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/495">TS</a>]

00:08:16   Martian Chronicles so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/496">TS</a>]

00:08:18   oh nice not quite the same thing and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/498">TS</a>]

00:08:20   really enjoyed that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/500">TS</a>]

00:08:22   that was a long time ago the only one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/502">TS</a>]

00:08:24   that we got for street with something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/504">TS</a>]

00:08:26   wicked this way comes partly because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/506">TS</a>]

00:08:28   they just wanted to show us the movie [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/508">TS</a>]

00:08:30   movie [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/510">TS</a>]

00:08:30   yeah there's a lot of what we got movies [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/510">TS</a>]

00:08:33   but yeah I i really had this made an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/513">TS</a>]

00:08:38   impression on me twenties so many years [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/518">TS</a>]

00:08:41   ago and so I had forgotten a lot of it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/521">TS</a>]

00:08:45   but there were bits and pieces and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/525">TS</a>]

00:08:47   images that as soon as i got them i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/527">TS</a>]

00:08:49   could be no almost recite the next page [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/529">TS</a>]

00:08:52   with it which was kind of interesting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/532">TS</a>]

00:08:53   yeah I my memory of this is is like I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/533">TS</a>]

00:08:56   said zero i know i read it and and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/536">TS</a>]

00:08:59   remember this is what it's like for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/539">TS</a>]

00:09:00   Scott all the time I realize it's not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/540">TS</a>]

00:09:03   always like that for me but condition [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/543">TS</a>]

00:09:05   please [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/545">TS</a>]

00:09:06   yes I i know i I'm I'm walk i walked a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/546">TS</a>]

00:09:08   mile i read a book in your shoes I got [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/548">TS</a>]

00:09:10   no that's why i usually comfortable put [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/550">TS</a>]

00:09:13   on choose to read a book but in this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/553">TS</a>]

00:09:15   case I did and a yeah i think the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/555">TS</a>]

00:09:19   opening is especially lyrical and I had [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/559">TS</a>]

00:09:22   that moment you know it was a two-stage [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/562">TS</a>]

00:09:24   thing with the first stages so here is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/564">TS</a>]

00:09:25   writer who is going to show off right i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/565">TS</a>]

00:09:27   mean i guess you could see it and then I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/567">TS</a>]

00:09:29   was like he's pretty good at it right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/569">TS</a>]

00:09:30   now is the next step was like like this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/570">TS</a>]

00:09:32   the way that this book starts it feels [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/572">TS</a>]

00:09:35   very much like I'm just gonna I'm gonna [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/575">TS</a>]

00:09:37   impress you with my prose a little bit [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/577">TS</a>]

00:09:39   and he does yeah but and there are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/579">TS</a>]

00:09:41   moments throughout that I i would look [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/581">TS</a>]

00:09:44   at it and be like okay you know I see [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/584">TS</a>]

00:09:46   his skill at this but I was struck by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/586">TS</a>]

00:09:50   the same thing erica was and if you look [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/590">TS</a>]

00:09:53   at Bradbury statements about Fahrenheit [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/593">TS</a>]

00:09:56   this is really interesting so we lumped [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/596">TS</a>]

00:09:57   the this these two books together and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/597">TS</a>]

00:10:01   there is this mid-twentieth-century [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/601">TS</a>]

00:10:02   books that are against totalitarianism [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/602">TS</a>]

00:10:06   and censorship and other other kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/606">TS</a>]

00:10:10   similarly terrible things and they get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/610">TS</a>]

00:10:13   lumped together and i find it funny [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/613">TS</a>]

00:10:15   because having read fahrenheit 451 and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/615">TS</a>]

00:10:17   then seeing that bread for himself [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/617">TS</a>]

00:10:18   admits this I feel like they kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/618">TS</a>]

00:10:21   don't fit because fahrenheit 451 to me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/621">TS</a>]

00:10:24   feels very much like it's about it's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/624">TS</a>]

00:10:26   satire about how if people don't read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/626">TS</a>]

00:10:30   the world will be crappy not that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/630">TS</a>]

00:10:34   totalitarian [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/634">TS</a>]

00:10:35   governments will come and keep people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/635">TS</a>]

00:10:37   from reading in order to have them beam [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/637">TS</a>]

00:10:40   you know how in order to exert their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/640">TS</a>]

00:10:42   power over them here it's very much more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/642">TS</a>]

00:10:44   like a kind of kind of elitist a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/644">TS</a>]

00:10:48   snobbish turning you know it's an attack [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/648">TS</a>]

00:10:52   on television and popular culture in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/652">TS</a>]

00:10:54   general and people don't read like they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/654">TS</a>]

00:10:56   used to and leads the the society in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/656">TS</a>]

00:10:59   fahrenheit 451 into these terrible [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/659">TS</a>]

00:11:00   places it's almost like the you know the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/660">TS</a>]

00:11:03   the the censorship is a just comes out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/663">TS</a>]

00:11:07   of the fact that nobody's reading [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/667">TS</a>]

00:11:08   anymore it's not because of the state [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/668">TS</a>]

00:11:11   and so I was kind of taken aback by that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/671">TS</a>]

00:11:13   because that was not what i was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/673">TS</a>]

00:11:14   expecting and I guess I also didn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/674">TS</a>]

00:11:17   particularly appreciate that message the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/677">TS</a>]

00:11:19   underlying conflict me that's weird [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/679">TS</a>]

00:11:22   about this book is a Bradbury is warning [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/682">TS</a>]

00:11:25   against political correctness raisuli in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/685">TS</a>]

00:11:29   a time before they had that language [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/689">TS</a>]

00:11:32   because he says the danger that people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/692">TS</a>]

00:11:34   saw in books was that they were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/694">TS</a>]

00:11:37   contradictory that they confuse people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/697">TS</a>]

00:11:39   you know they hurt people's feelings [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/699">TS</a>]

00:11:41   yep and the troubles people felt [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/701">TS</a>]

00:11:43   marginalized people felt excluded by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/703">TS</a>]

00:11:45   great works of literature there weren't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/705">TS</a>]

00:11:48   written to them or that said truths that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/708">TS</a>]

00:11:50   they didn't agree with so culture had to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/710">TS</a>]

00:11:52   be dumbed down and made polite and made [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/712">TS</a>]

00:11:55   good for everybody and it's kinda spooky [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/715">TS</a>]

00:11:58   when you have to see how that's actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/718">TS</a>]

00:12:00   played out in the actual arena of how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/720">TS</a>]

00:12:03   political correctness gets used as a as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/723">TS</a>]

00:12:05   a casual [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/725">TS</a>]

00:12:06   the other thing I would say is that it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/726">TS</a>]

00:12:08   a very romantic book about the power of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/728">TS</a>]

00:12:11   words and it strikes strikes me that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/731">TS</a>]

00:12:15   that comes from the place that bribery [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/735">TS</a>]

00:12:18   is coming from which is he's an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/738">TS</a>]

00:12:19   autodidact he's a guy who never went to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/739">TS</a>]

00:12:23   college but he wanted to show the world [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/743">TS</a>]

00:12:25   he was an educated person and the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/745">TS</a>]

00:12:29   thing that I think is so funny is the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/749">TS</a>]

00:12:31   scene where he starts reading poetry to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/751">TS</a>]

00:12:34   his wife milled at Mildred and her [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/754">TS</a>]

00:12:37   friends to try and show them what has [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/757">TS</a>]

00:12:39   been lost the unplug their screen right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/759">TS</a>]

00:12:41   right and the poem he chooses is matthew [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/761">TS</a>]

00:12:44   arnold Dover Beach now this is the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/764">TS</a>]

00:12:47   this is I'm a great fan of people just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/767">TS</a>]

00:12:50   reading literature and and you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/770">TS</a>]

00:12:53   to hell with whether you know where it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/773">TS</a>]

00:12:54   comes from go ahead and read it and see [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/774">TS</a>]

00:12:56   if you can connect with it but matthew [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/776">TS</a>]

00:12:57   arnold is not something you just pick up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/777">TS</a>]

00:12:59   and have got a reaction to you know it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/779">TS</a>]

00:13:03   like I keep that in my wallet come on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/783">TS</a>]

00:13:07   and if you've never experienced anything [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/787">TS</a>]

00:13:08   remotely like that before why would [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/788">TS</a>]

00:13:10   those words in that order make you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/790">TS</a>]

00:13:12   suddenly break down and cry i just did [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/792">TS</a>]

00:13:14   not buy head for a second yet maybe if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/794">TS</a>]

00:13:17   there if there were a poem that would [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/797">TS</a>]

00:13:19   make me break down and cry it is not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/799">TS</a>]

00:13:20   differ beach [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/800">TS</a>]

00:13:22   no you're right and your age on it made [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/802">TS</a>]

00:13:24   me feel icky to when I got to that point [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/804">TS</a>]

00:13:25   because I mean basically what he says [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/805">TS</a>]

00:13:27   and this may even be in there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/807">TS</a>]

00:13:28   specifically I can't I don't have a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/808">TS</a>]

00:13:30   something to quote here directly but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/810">TS</a>]

00:13:32   it's basically like well you know what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/812">TS</a>]

00:13:34   the problem was that you'd write a book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/814">TS</a>]

00:13:35   and the women would complain or you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/815">TS</a>]

00:13:37   write a book and the Negroes would [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/817">TS</a>]

00:13:38   complain and so they had to make these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/818">TS</a>]

00:13:40   dumb books that nobody complained about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/820">TS</a>]

00:13:41   in that ruined everything i'm like yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/821">TS</a>]

00:13:43   I that is not a good [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/823">TS</a>]

00:13:45   no no no I mean if it's just for being a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/825">TS</a>]

00:13:49   guy who is thinks he's so smart [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/829">TS</a>]

00:13:51   the the idea that that the solution to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/831">TS</a>]

00:13:53   that is to write books that are more and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/833">TS</a>]

00:13:56   more you know bland is ridiculous I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/836">TS</a>]

00:14:00   I think it's become clear in this day [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/840">TS</a>]

00:14:02   and age of the the answer to that is if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/842">TS</a>]

00:14:05   more books by all kinds of different [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/845">TS</a>]

00:14:07   people it be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/847">TS</a>]

00:14:08   I love the idea why i hate i'm using [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/848">TS</a>]

00:14:11   loving quotes that the idea that his his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/851">TS</a>]

00:14:14   thought is that yes it's it's the you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/854">TS</a>]

00:14:15   know it's the white men that should be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/855">TS</a>]

00:14:17   producing all of these books and because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/857">TS</a>]

00:14:20   of that we need to think about the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/860">TS</a>]

00:14:22   minorities that was that just kept [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/862">TS</a>]

00:14:24   coming up over and over again we need to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/864">TS</a>]

00:14:25   think about it already is right and give [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/865">TS</a>]

00:14:27   basically he's saying we need to give [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/867">TS</a>]

00:14:30   them things that are not going to upset [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/870">TS</a>]

00:14:32   them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/872">TS</a>]

00:14:33   there's never any thought that all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/873">TS</a>]

00:14:35   perhaps these quote-unquote minorities I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/875">TS</a>]

00:14:37   mean women not exactly minority could be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/877">TS</a>]

00:14:40   producing content for themselves [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/880">TS</a>]

00:14:42   producing things from their own point of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/882">TS</a>]

00:14:44   view that's that's just not something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/884">TS</a>]

00:14:46   that ever enters into his head as a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/886">TS</a>]

00:14:48   narrator of this book even though the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/888">TS</a>]

00:14:50   walls and by the way these are both [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/890">TS</a>]

00:14:52   books with a with the feature [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/892">TS</a>]

00:14:54   essentially television large television [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/894">TS</a>]

00:14:58   as part of the premise with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/898">TS</a>]

00:15:00   which is kind of fun in fahrenheit 451 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/900">TS</a>]

00:15:02   there are just walls that our television [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/902">TS</a>]

00:15:05   screens and a guy Montag's wife is is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/905">TS</a>]

00:15:08   getting on him about how she wants the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/908">TS</a>]

00:15:10   fourth wall to be a screen to so they'll [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/910">TS</a>]

00:15:12   be it's kind of like virtual reality [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/912">TS</a>]

00:15:14   that basically will be inside a box of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/914">TS</a>]

00:15:17   television and so the characters on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/917">TS</a>]

00:15:19   shows are watching will be all around [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/919">TS</a>]

00:15:20   them and so as a as a satire of you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/920">TS</a>]

00:15:26   almost like reality TV and all that I I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/926">TS</a>]

00:15:29   can see it i'm not sure if I'm like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/929">TS</a>]

00:15:31   totally behind it but i was i was struck [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/931">TS</a>]

00:15:33   by the fact that it what it's not it is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/933">TS</a>]

00:15:36   it's politics are very different from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/936">TS</a>]

00:15:38   something like 1984 it's politics are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/938">TS</a>]

00:15:41   yes a celebration of writing and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/941">TS</a>]

00:15:43   decrying about of a kind of a coarsening [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/943">TS</a>]

00:15:46   culture that does not appreciate great [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/946">TS</a>]

00:15:48   art which is not at all the same kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/948">TS</a>]

00:15:52   story is something that you get in 94 or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/952">TS</a>]

00:15:54   something like brave new world and it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/954">TS</a>]

00:15:56   it's also bad government overreach to I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/956">TS</a>]

00:15:59   mean this he was writing this after the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/959">TS</a>]

00:16:01   whole house of unemployed american path [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/961">TS</a>]

00:16:04   house on American Activities Committee [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/964">TS</a>]

00:16:06   was going on and you know this was kind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/966">TS</a>]

00:16:11   of a reaction to that the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/971">TS</a>]

00:16:12   anti-intellectualism of that and so so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/972">TS</a>]

00:16:16   yeah it's it's about the power of words [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/976">TS</a>]

00:16:19   where 1984 a lot of your other dystopian [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/979">TS</a>]

00:16:22   novels are about the crushing power of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/982">TS</a>]

00:16:26   words maybe or the the destruction of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/986">TS</a>]

00:16:28   the words whereas this is literally [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/988">TS</a>]

00:16:30   destroying the books but the words will [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/990">TS</a>]

00:16:33   save you on in both emotions these books [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/993">TS</a>]

00:16:35   there are there are no illicit materials [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/995">TS</a>]

00:16:38   that are found in and and red and that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/998">TS</a>]

00:16:41   you know there are there are acts of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1001">TS</a>]

00:16:42   rebellion and things like that they do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1002">TS</a>]

00:16:44   have they do definitely have things in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1004">TS</a>]

00:16:45   common and of course in this case in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1005">TS</a>]

00:16:49   both books actually it's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1009">TS</a>]

00:16:50   representative it's a functionary in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1010">TS</a>]

00:16:52   this totalitarian society who it becomes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1012">TS</a>]

00:16:55   disaffected and partakes of the band [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1015">TS</a>]

00:16:58   material i mean they do have things in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1018">TS</a>]

00:17:00   common even though they're coming from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1020">TS</a>]

00:17:01   pretty different sorts of places i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1021">TS</a>]

00:17:04   Bradbury is still hopeful where Orwell [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1024">TS</a>]

00:17:07   is absolutely not no it's debatable [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1027">TS</a>]

00:17:10   there might be a little help there but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1030">TS</a>]

00:17:11   we'll get we'll get to that the other [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1031">TS</a>]

00:17:13   thing that's funny about this book for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1033">TS</a>]

00:17:14   me and it struck me reading through both [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1034">TS</a>]

00:17:17   times is there's there's a lot of stuff [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1037">TS</a>]

00:17:19   that's just kind of tacked on a because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1039">TS</a>]

00:17:23   Bradbury I don't think kind of could [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1043">TS</a>]

00:17:25   figure out what he wanted to do the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1045">TS</a>]

00:17:28   whole into this book is if focuses on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1048">TS</a>]

00:17:30   the fact that there's been rumors of war [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1050">TS</a>]

00:17:33   going on throughout the entire book they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1053">TS</a>]

00:17:35   they just keep handing a war happening [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1055">TS</a>]

00:17:37   war happening and then suddenly the city [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1057">TS</a>]

00:17:39   that he's in has just blown up and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1059">TS</a>]

00:17:41   they're like oh well we guess we better [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1061">TS</a>]

00:17:43   go back and rebuild everything of a kind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1063">TS</a>]

00:17:45   of trash back into the civilian it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1065">TS</a>]

00:17:47   sort of like where did that come from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1067">TS</a>]

00:17:50   if the end is really weird like it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1070">TS</a>]

00:17:52   becomes a chase scene sort of and then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1072">TS</a>]

00:17:56   there's the he finds the like the hobo [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1076">TS</a>]

00:17:58   camp of college professors and then the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1078">TS</a>]

00:18:02   city gets nuked and the end [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1082">TS</a>]

00:18:05   yeah it's like that's the happy ending [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1085">TS</a>]

00:18:08   yeah the the happy ending is the fact [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1088">TS</a>]

00:18:09   that civilization has just been doomed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1089">TS</a>]

00:18:11   and now we can rebuild it in and not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1091">TS</a>]

00:18:15   internet in a new way in the old way [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1095">TS</a>]

00:18:17   that's right well the stupid people are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1097">TS</a>]

00:18:19   in the city and there's I so that's it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1099">TS</a>]

00:18:22   burned like books exactly as they should [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1102">TS</a>]

00:18:25   be and you know Orwell was writing a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1105">TS</a>]

00:18:28   straight novel where is Bradbury's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1108">TS</a>]

00:18:30   reading pulp stories in the fellas and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1110">TS</a>]

00:18:32   then threading them together and that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1112">TS</a>]

00:18:35   part of why this is in parts and part of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1115">TS</a>]

00:18:37   why it's a little disjointed and put [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1117">TS</a>]

00:18:39   away just start suddenly becomes a chase [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1119">TS</a>]

00:18:41   and then suddenly ends it's like oh I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1121">TS</a>]

00:18:43   hit I hit my number where the editor [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1123">TS</a>]

00:18:45   said it was good and that's it and he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1125">TS</a>]

00:18:47   just kind of left to reach my workout [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1127">TS</a>]

00:18:48   i'm just thinking of the parallels now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1128">TS</a>]

00:18:50   which I didn't really think before [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1130">TS</a>]

00:18:51   because in addition to him being a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1131">TS</a>]

00:18:53   functionary you've got his his a boss [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1133">TS</a>]

00:18:55   who basically kind of like lets him in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1135">TS</a>]

00:18:58   on the secrets and says it's okay and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1138">TS</a>]

00:19:00   you know in this case Montague boss says [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1140">TS</a>]

00:19:03   you know everything happens every [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1143">TS</a>]

00:19:04   fireman you just bring the book back you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1144">TS</a>]

00:19:06   get 24 hours it's not a big deal you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1146">TS</a>]

00:19:09   know we'll we'll make it work and that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1149">TS</a>]

00:19:10   that's similar to a point to what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1150">TS</a>]

00:19:13   happens in 1984 the idea that there i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1153">TS</a>]

00:19:16   mean it is a clever like elevator pitch [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1156">TS</a>]

00:19:20   which is in the future there are firemen [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1160">TS</a>]

00:19:22   but they start fire [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1162">TS</a>]

00:19:24   that's right that's right that's that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1164">TS</a>]

00:19:26   clever and he's and he's troubled and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1166">TS</a>]

00:19:28   the Hound is an interesting character [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1168">TS</a>]

00:19:29   there's a lot of there's a lot of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1169">TS</a>]

00:19:30   interesting stuff here the big screens [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1170">TS</a>]

00:19:32   and the the the the people who are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1172">TS</a>]

00:19:34   obsessed with with television [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1174">TS</a>]

00:19:37   essentially although they're in Eric I'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1177">TS</a>]

00:19:39   sure that you have similar feelings to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1179">TS</a>]

00:19:41   me it's like it is a very gendered [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1181">TS</a>]

00:19:43   portrayal it is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1183">TS</a>]

00:19:53   throwing away their time on the on their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1193">TS</a>]

00:19:55   on their stories [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1195">TS</a>]

00:19:56   yeah every single woman in the entire [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1196">TS</a>]

00:19:58   story is is that basically and then the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1198">TS</a>]

00:20:02   men are either the firemen or the old [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1202">TS</a>]

00:20:34   exactly she asleep yeah prototype which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1234">TS</a>]

00:20:38   is why I didn't quit her with women [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1238">TS</a>]

00:20:40   because she's a girl for sure Julia [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1240">TS</a>]

00:20:42   kinda is too will get there but I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1242">TS</a>]

00:20:44   they're both kinda like that but yeah I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1244">TS</a>]

00:20:45   mean they're not Katniss or anything if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1245">TS</a>]

00:20:47   you see the movie day is Truffaut makes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1247">TS</a>]

00:20:51   a couple of really good choices and one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1251">TS</a>]

00:20:53   of them is he makes Clarice like 20 in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1253">TS</a>]

00:20:56   her twenties she's a she's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1256">TS</a>]

00:20:58   schoolteacher and so that takes away a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1258">TS</a>]

00:21:00   lot of kind of goofiness of Montag's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1260">TS</a>]

00:21:03   infatuation with this teen girl [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1263">TS</a>]

00:21:05   the other thing that did Truffaut does [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1265">TS</a>]

00:21:08   is at the end of the book when montage [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1268">TS</a>]

00:21:11   makes it to the society of people who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1271">TS</a>]

00:21:14   memorized the books the people they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1274">TS</a>]

00:21:16   actually sit there and memorize the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1276">TS</a>]

00:21:18   books there's a wonderful sequence of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1278">TS</a>]

00:21:20   the end of the movie where you see these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1280">TS</a>]

00:21:21   people repeating the words of great [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1281">TS</a>]

00:21:23   literature out loud and they're trying [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1283">TS</a>]

00:21:25   to commit this to memory and it-it-it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1285">TS</a>]

00:21:28   seen as an arduous and a very precarious [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1288">TS</a>]

00:21:30   task you can you feel like oh any second [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1290">TS</a>]

00:21:33   they're going to make a mistake [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1293">TS</a>]

00:21:35   you know Hamlet is going to suddenly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1295">TS</a>]

00:21:36   become hamblett or something and it but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1296">TS</a>]

00:21:40   but in the book it's all kind of like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1300">TS</a>]

00:21:42   waved away like they say we've we've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1302">TS</a>]

00:21:44   discovered a magical way to make people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1304">TS</a>]

00:21:46   memorize books [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1306">TS</a>]

00:21:47   yeah I guess he's trying to get to like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1307">TS</a>]

00:21:49   all tradition and connect that to books [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1309">TS</a>]

00:21:51   and say that this is all part of this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1311">TS</a>]

00:21:53   long chain in human society but you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1313">TS</a>]

00:21:55   the irony here is if you go back to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1315">TS</a>]

00:21:57   ancient sources the ancient Greeks were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1317">TS</a>]

00:22:00   very distrustful of people starting to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1320">TS</a>]

00:22:02   learn to write because they said now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1322">TS</a>]

00:22:04   you're gonna lose your memory and that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1324">TS</a>]

00:22:06   terrible you know we're going like the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1326">TS</a>]

00:22:07   idea of people writing down Homer [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1327">TS</a>]

00:22:09   because before then people memorize [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1329">TS</a>]

00:22:11   Homer I am kinda down on this but there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1331">TS</a>]

00:22:13   are some moments in here that are pretty [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1333">TS</a>]

00:22:15   spectacular and the one that really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1335">TS</a>]

00:22:16   worked for me is mon togs wife's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1336">TS</a>]

00:22:19   attempted suicide because it's told so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1339">TS</a>]

00:22:23   matter-of-factly and and and she just so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1343">TS</a>]

00:22:27   she swallowed all the pills again and he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1347">TS</a>]

00:22:29   called someone and they basically said [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1349">TS</a>]

00:22:30   like plumbers to the house to pump her [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1350">TS</a>]

00:22:34   stomach and layer down she doesn't get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1354">TS</a>]

00:22:36   taken away and then the next day she [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1356">TS</a>]

00:22:38   doesn't even remember or think about it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1358">TS</a>]

00:22:40   and you get the sense that this is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1360">TS</a>]

00:22:42   something that she just she does and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1362">TS</a>]

00:22:44   what I like about that is not only is it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1364">TS</a>]

00:22:45   super creepy but there's this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1365">TS</a>]

00:22:47   undercurrent that like these people are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1367">TS</a>]

00:22:49   miserable but won't let themselves [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1369">TS</a>]

00:22:51   believe they're miserable and their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1371">TS</a>]

00:22:53   society is very helpful in not letting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1373">TS</a>]

00:22:55   them die so they're just sort of stuck [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1375">TS</a>]

00:22:57   forever in this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1377">TS</a>]

00:22:58   yeah like the plumber guys are like you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1378">TS</a>]

00:23:00   know we've got three more calls like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1380">TS</a>]

00:23:01   this we gotta go buddy it's not just her [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1381">TS</a>]

00:23:03   and then when he says what happens if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1383">TS</a>]

00:23:05   she doesn't get any better and he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1385">TS</a>]

00:23:07   there i will just call us again will [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1387">TS</a>]

00:23:08   show up again [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1388">TS</a>]

00:23:09   yeah yeah so weird thats that really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1389">TS</a>]

00:23:12   stuck with me that was a that was a a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1392">TS</a>]

00:23:14   nice creepy moment of light because you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1394">TS</a>]

00:23:16   know on the surface it is this sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1396">TS</a>]

00:23:18   Sonny gave Sonny scene and then but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1398">TS</a>]

00:23:22   beneath the surface it's just like oh [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1402">TS</a>]

00:23:23   yeah she tried to kill herself again [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1403">TS</a>]

00:23:26   will you know just call the guys and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1406">TS</a>]

00:23:27   we'll fix it up until next time to his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1407">TS</a>]

00:23:30   credit that was that was one of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1410">TS</a>]

00:23:31   moments that I enjoyed the most pros [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1411">TS</a>]

00:23:34   wise because that is one of the first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1414">TS</a>]

00:23:36   times that we experience the jets flying [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1416">TS</a>]

00:23:37   overhead as well right you know he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1417">TS</a>]

00:23:39   realizes when his wife is done at the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1419">TS</a>]

00:23:41   same time like you know the sky is split [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1421">TS</a>]

00:23:43   by this the scream of a jacket or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1423">TS</a>]

00:23:45   whatever it is and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1425">TS</a>]

00:23:46   it was it was it was a beautiful moment [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1426">TS</a>]

00:23:48   in a lot of ways and then and then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1428">TS</a>]

00:23:50   immediately went right back to being [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1430">TS</a>]

00:23:52   completely matter of fact and it's just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1432">TS</a>]

00:23:54   these guys with their weird snake to to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1434">TS</a>]

00:23:56   pump her stomach [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1436">TS</a>]

00:23:57   the thing I like the best was when favor [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1437">TS</a>]

00:23:59   spent like three pages explaining to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1439">TS</a>]

00:24:02   Montague this exciting little earpiece [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1442">TS</a>]

00:24:04   he was going to give him because you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1444">TS</a>]

00:24:06   because Montague was so blown away by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1446">TS</a>]

00:24:09   the idea that there was this radio [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1449">TS</a>]

00:24:11   receiver that was going to stick into [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1451">TS</a>]

00:24:12   his ear and he lives in a world where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1452">TS</a>]

00:24:14   they have freaking the hounds running [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1454">TS</a>]

00:24:16   around the place but this is what blows [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1456">TS</a>]

00:24:19   him away [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1459">TS</a>]

00:24:20   yeah it's weird it's a weird book there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1460">TS</a>]

00:24:22   there there are things that i like but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1462">TS</a>]

00:24:24   um well it's not sort of what i was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1464">TS</a>]

00:24:26   expecting and I i don't think i would [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1466">TS</a>]

00:24:29   say that I i like the name on tagged [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1469">TS</a>]

00:24:31   isn't even like he's barely a character [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1471">TS</a>]

00:24:33   I mean we did we get his inner life but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1473">TS</a>]

00:24:36   it didn't feel very lively which I guess [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1476">TS</a>]

00:24:38   is kind of part of the point because you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1478">TS</a>]

00:24:40   know he's been downtrodden by his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1480">TS</a>]

00:24:42   society but I feel like instead of you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1482">TS</a>]

00:24:46   as his awakening into understanding that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1486">TS</a>]

00:24:48   no books are important instead of that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1488">TS</a>]

00:24:50   making him more interesting what it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1490">TS</a>]

00:24:54   actually was the opposite i got more and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1494">TS</a>]

00:24:56   more annoyed with him as his thinks when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1496">TS</a>]

00:24:58   I was just like I don't care about you I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1498">TS</a>]

00:25:01   don't care about the things that you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1501">TS</a>]

00:25:02   think I'd I was more interested in favor [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1502">TS</a>]

00:25:05   like I wanted to see what he was gonna [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1505">TS</a>]

00:25:07   do but right now is just off to st. [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1507">TS</a>]

00:25:08   Louis or whatever and we didn't get to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1508">TS</a>]

00:25:10   watch it is i mean it is a weird I guess [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1510">TS</a>]

00:25:13   it goes hand-in-hand with bribery's of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1513">TS</a>]

00:25:15   take on this being a cultural kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1515">TS</a>]

00:25:18   degradation that happens when society [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1518">TS</a>]

00:25:20   becomes disconnected from you know art [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1520">TS</a>]

00:25:24   and other things that are the roots of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1524">TS</a>]

00:25:25   society and so it just becomes this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1525">TS</a>]

00:25:27   materialistic you know it's just it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1527">TS</a>]

00:25:31   just fast cars and everybody's violent [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1531">TS</a>]

00:25:34   and that's all that that's all that is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1534">TS</a>]

00:25:35   in the society is cars and and talking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1535">TS</a>]

00:25:37   to your TV's in every single bribery [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1537">TS</a>]

00:25:39   short story someone dies [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1539">TS</a>]

00:25:41   I don't know what he's complaining about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1541">TS</a>]

00:25:43   I mean he's the guy everyone who writes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1543">TS</a>]

00:25:45   who's really running violator every [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1545">TS</a>]

00:25:48   yeah finances inside us all the only [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1548">TS</a>]

00:25:51   sort of the actual structure that you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1551">TS</a>]

00:25:55   get about society is is the fireman like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1555">TS</a>]

00:25:57   you don't hear a whole lot more about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1557">TS</a>]

00:25:59   about other stuff you know you got the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1559">TS</a>]

00:26:00   hound and the other police sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1560">TS</a>]

00:26:02   chasing him but it it's implied that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1562">TS</a>]

00:26:05   it's not a big deal to just run somebody [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1565">TS</a>]

00:26:07   over with a car because if somebody in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1567">TS</a>]

00:26:09   car turns around and to try to take a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1569">TS</a>]

00:26:11   second run and Montague's he's trying to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1571">TS</a>]

00:26:13   get away because they missing the first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1573">TS</a>]

00:26:15   time so like they in and being shot is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1575">TS</a>]

00:26:18   it's not a big deal because that happens [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1578">TS</a>]

00:26:19   to a bunch of people in the high school [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1579">TS</a>]

00:26:21   so it seems like there's probably not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1581">TS</a>]

00:26:24   not a whole lot in the way of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1584">TS</a>]

00:26:26   consequences for that sort of thing and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1586">TS</a>]

00:26:28   then somewhere toward the end you get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1588">TS</a>]

00:33:11   do agree that it is a good book it is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1991">TS</a>]

00:33:13   not I I didn't enjoy it either but I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1993">TS</a>]

00:33:17   think I don't know when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1997">TS</a>]

00:33:19   laughs enjoy still weird word to use [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/1999">TS</a>]

00:33:22   because i think that it if you get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2002">TS</a>]

00:33:26   something out of it that sort of counts [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2006">TS</a>]

00:33:28   as enjoyment on on some level and i'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2008">TS</a>]

00:33:31   not even sure I got that out of it i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2011">TS</a>]

00:33:32   think it's a very well done book is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2012">TS</a>]

00:33:34   doing what it try it was trying to do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2014">TS</a>]

00:33:36   fairly solidly but it's not a thing that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2016">TS</a>]

00:33:39   I'm like I'm I guess I'm kind of glad i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2019">TS</a>]

00:33:41   read it once but but i don't know at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2021">TS</a>]

00:33:44   this point in history it was much more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2024">TS</a>]

00:33:46   difficult to read than i expected it to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2026">TS</a>]

00:33:47   me and I expected it to be difficult i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2027">TS</a>]

00:33:49   feel like there's a basic cultural [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2029">TS</a>]

00:33:51   literacy though about it but there's so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2031">TS</a>]

00:33:53   much refers to it that knowing the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2033">TS</a>]

00:33:56   details of it i think is helpful in just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2036">TS</a>]

00:33:58   how people refer to it because it is it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2038">TS</a>]

00:34:02   is such a part of me has such a currency [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2042">TS</a>]

00:34:04   and in so many different terms that we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2044">TS</a>]

00:34:06   use now I feel like it's got gain that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2046">TS</a>]

00:34:08   cultural status that like of the Mona [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2048">TS</a>]

00:34:10   Lisa where you don't even you can't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2050">TS</a>]

00:34:12   experience the Mona Lisa you are just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2052">TS</a>]

00:34:13   experience the experience of CM the mona [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2053">TS</a>]

00:34:16   lisa station so it's kind of like you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2056">TS</a>]

00:34:17   know you don't really need to read 1984 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2057">TS</a>]

00:34:19   to reference 1984 understand i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2059">TS</a>]

00:34:22   reading it makes it much better [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2062">TS</a>]

00:34:25   whatever that means right you you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2065">TS</a>]

00:34:27   understand the full importance but i'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2067">TS</a>]

00:34:29   sure that you should read the books you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2069">TS</a>]

00:34:30   should be doing that is my bold step [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2070">TS</a>]

00:34:32   looks best when red is what you're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2072">TS</a>]

00:34:34   saying [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2074">TS</a>]

00:34:34   got it did you remember this book uh I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2074">TS</a>]

00:34:41   that I knew nothing of what happened i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2081">TS</a>]

00:34:45   remember the telescreens and big brother [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2085">TS</a>]

00:34:48   always watching but that was about all i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2088">TS</a>]

00:34:50   read i remembered i remember too happy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2090">TS</a>]

00:34:54   ending and there's not a happy ending in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2094">TS</a>]

00:34:55   this book so I don't know where I came [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2095">TS</a>]

00:34:56   from with that but I don't know he seems [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2096">TS</a>]

00:34:58   pretty happy at the end he looked big [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2098">TS</a>]

00:35:01   brother us it was great [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2101">TS</a>]

00:35:03   it's a love story John what's your from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2103">TS</a>]

00:35:06   1984 experience [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2106">TS</a>]

00:35:08   oh I I read this in high school I wasn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2108">TS</a>]

00:35:11   it was assigned to me we had animal farm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2111">TS</a>]

00:35:14   assigned to us by red 1984 i was reading [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2114">TS</a>]

00:35:17   a bunch of the air air how you mention [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2117">TS</a>]

00:35:20   they vote in the early eighties for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2120">TS</a>]

00:35:23   these really grungy dystopias i think it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2123">TS</a>]

00:35:27   was something about the Reagan years era [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2127">TS</a>]

00:35:29   that did that but i read this i read a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2129">TS</a>]

00:35:32   clockwork orange or red all these things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2132">TS</a>]

00:35:34   and at the time it seemed funnier to me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2134">TS</a>]

00:35:38   is it as a high school student i guess [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2138">TS</a>]

00:35:40   here yeah I thought I was too cool for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2140">TS</a>]

00:35:43   school and kind of cynical as i read it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2143">TS</a>]

00:35:45   now it's just kind of unrelentingly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2145">TS</a>]

00:35:48   depressing and it's so it's so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2148">TS</a>]

00:35:51   oppressive and/or will makes this point [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2151">TS</a>]

00:35:55   very early on and i think the other [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2155">TS</a>]

00:35:59   thing that has happened in the time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2159">TS</a>]

00:36:00   since then as I've read a lot of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2160">TS</a>]

00:36:02   Orwell's essays and I think that he's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2162">TS</a>]

00:36:06   better a serious than he is a novelist [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2166">TS</a>]

00:36:09   and certainly a lot of the ideas that he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2169">TS</a>]

00:36:11   covers in 1984 are covered in his essay [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2171">TS</a>]

00:36:15   politics in the English language which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2175">TS</a>]

00:36:17   is one of the greatest asset is written [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2177">TS</a>]

00:36:19   in English the other greatest SI being [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2179">TS</a>]

00:36:22   shooting an elephant which is also by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2182">TS</a>]

00:36:24   george orwell and-and-and there he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2184">TS</a>]

00:36:27   allowed to be a little bit more direct a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2187">TS</a>]

00:36:30   little bit more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2190">TS</a>]

00:36:30   he's not playing with irony the way that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2190">TS</a>]

00:36:33   he is in this book and so it's a little [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2193">TS</a>]

00:36:35   bit more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2195">TS</a>]

00:36:37   he's a little more decent to the reader [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2197">TS</a>]

00:36:39   this is kind of I I agree [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2199">TS</a>]

00:36:42   you can't judge a book on whether or not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2202">TS</a>]

00:36:45   you it brings you enjoyment in the sense [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2205">TS</a>]

00:36:47   that you feel a thrill [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2207">TS</a>]

00:36:50   there are certainly points to this book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2210">TS</a>]

00:36:51   where you feel chills or you profoundly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2211">TS</a>]

00:36:56   disturbed and there are profoundly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2216">TS</a>]

00:36:59   starkly beautiful images but there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2219">TS</a>]

00:37:04   also a lot of that xserve expositional [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2224">TS</a>]

00:37:08   writing where people spend a lot of time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2228">TS</a>]

00:37:10   saying as you know this this is the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2230">TS</a>]

00:37:14   society we live in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2234">TS</a>]

00:37:15   but let me explain it to you anyway let [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2235">TS</a>]

00:37:17   me read you this book that explains [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2237">TS</a>]

00:37:19   everything [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2239">TS</a>]

00:37:19   see that that's something that you can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2239">TS</a>]

00:37:20   tell that he is an SAS and this actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2240">TS</a>]

00:37:23   reminded me to of brave new world which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2243">TS</a>]

00:37:24   which john i read for sophomore lid on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2244">TS</a>]

00:37:27   74 you haven't done an episode about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2247">TS</a>]

00:37:28   that for sophomore let ya know it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2248">TS</a>]

00:37:31   pretty striking while the iron is hot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2251">TS</a>]

00:37:32   you just read it you don't have to read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2252">TS</a>]

00:37:34   together on the both of those books [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2254">TS</a>]

00:37:37   basically stopped for you to read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2257">TS</a>]

00:37:39   another work that is going to be quoted [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2259">TS</a>]

00:37:41   at length and I always felt like that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2261">TS</a>]

00:37:43   was kind of a a cheap trick that that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2263">TS</a>]

00:37:46   it's basically like here's this book by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2266">TS</a>]

00:37:50   Manuel goldsteins you should read it and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2270">TS</a>]

00:37:52   then like we proceeded to read large [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2272">TS</a>]

00:37:54   passenger but yes I was gonna say you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2274">TS</a>]

00:37:56   know I that Johnny I believe you that he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2276">TS</a>]

00:37:59   is a better SAS know but you know I've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2279">TS</a>]

00:38:01   never read any of his essays oh wait yes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2281">TS</a>]

00:38:03   I have this right it looks like you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2283">TS</a>]

00:38:06   you know yeah and that was that stuff [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2286">TS</a>]

00:38:08   when he's like okay as a novelist she's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2288">TS</a>]

00:38:10   like throwing up his hands like all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2290">TS</a>]

00:38:11   right I'm gonna have a marine SI and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2291">TS</a>]

00:38:14   here it is that was kind of the point [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2294">TS</a>]

00:38:16   that I sort of just jumped off in this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2296">TS</a>]

00:38:18   now i really like the topic I ain't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2298">TS</a>]

00:38:20   enjoyed the beginning because i was sort [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2300">TS</a>]

00:38:22   of you know feeling out the edges of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2302">TS</a>]

00:38:24   this world from the perspective of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2304">TS</a>]

00:38:27   main character and I think thought that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2307">TS</a>]

00:38:28   was very skillfully done it was really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2308">TS</a>]

00:38:31   interesting to discover the way the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2311">TS</a>]

00:38:33   world worked piece by piece as it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2313">TS</a>]

00:38:36   being revealed to us through the eyes of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2316">TS</a>]

00:38:37   this Porsche lobby character but as we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2317">TS</a>]

00:38:41   went on this Porsche lobby character [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2321">TS</a>]

00:38:43   that kind of same as in Fahrenheit 451 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2323">TS</a>]

00:38:45   I didn't really care that much about the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2325">TS</a>]

00:38:49   character and yes again i'm sure it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2329">TS</a>]

00:38:51   it is a part of that world you don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2331">TS</a>]

00:38:53   have all that much in her life because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2333">TS</a>]

00:38:54   you've been so stamped down from the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2334">TS</a>]

00:38:56   outside but it there was real [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2336">TS</a>]

00:38:59   nothing once I've kind of gotten an idea [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2339">TS</a>]

00:39:02   of the world he inhabited nothing that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2342">TS</a>]

00:39:04   sort of drew me to him and then we get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2344">TS</a>]

00:39:07   this female character who I'm excited by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2347">TS</a>]

00:39:09   it first and then realize oh no she's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2349">TS</a>]

00:39:11   not really treated hell that well either [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2351">TS</a>]

00:39:12   from the point of view of the of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2352">TS</a>]

00:39:15   writer she doesn't she doesn't care [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2355">TS</a>]

00:39:16   about anything she wants to get laid [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2356">TS</a>]

00:39:18   okay well so I just and then there's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2358">TS</a>]

00:39:21   essay and at that point I was just like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2361">TS</a>]

00:39:22   I don't care anymore excusing the rest [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2362">TS</a>]

00:39:24   of this sucker i can see both sides of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2364">TS</a>]

00:39:26   it right because yes on one level [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2366">TS</a>]

00:39:28   she's just having sex with people but on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2368">TS</a>]

00:39:30   another level i would say this is her [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2370">TS</a>]

00:39:32   act of rebellion against the state she's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2372">TS</a>]

00:39:34   forced to be in the anti-sex League you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2374">TS</a>]

00:39:36   know all these things and this is her [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2376">TS</a>]

00:39:38   act of rebellion which was good i I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2378">TS</a>]

00:39:40   thought that was cool and then you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2380">TS</a>]

00:39:42   it but then and then she falls in love [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2382">TS</a>]

00:39:44   with him which I have mixed feelings [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2384">TS</a>]

00:39:45   about you know love love can be great [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2385">TS</a>]

00:39:47   but then that becomes her only defining [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2387">TS</a>]

00:39:50   character characteristic for the rest of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2390">TS</a>]

00:39:52   the book she doesn't really care about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2392">TS</a>]

00:39:54   rebelling against Big Brother she's only [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2394">TS</a>]

00:39:56   doing what she's doing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2396">TS</a>]

00:39:57   so that she can be close to the man that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2397">TS</a>]

00:39:58   she has fallen in love with after all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2398">TS</a>]

00:40:01   that sexy show so sharp edged up to the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2401">TS</a>]

00:40:04   up to that point and then she just kind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2404">TS</a>]

00:40:06   of recedes into the background right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2406">TS</a>]

00:40:07   after that you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2407">TS</a>]

00:40:09   yeah David I didn't give you a chance to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2409">TS</a>]

00:40:11   weigh in here [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2411">TS</a>]

00:40:13   yeah I i actually had the commemorative [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2413">TS</a>]

00:40:15   1984 edition right when the sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2415">TS</a>]

00:40:18   blocky chunky letter up lettering on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2418">TS</a>]

00:40:20   cover when i read in 8th grade and and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2420">TS</a>]

00:40:23   but i but i never got through it until [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2423">TS</a>]

00:40:25   1988-89 in senior year and yeah it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2425">TS</a>]

00:40:32   it reads really differently when your [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2432">TS</a>]

00:40:33   teen because you know at that point you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2433">TS</a>]

00:40:37   know I'd been reading a lot of science [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2437">TS</a>]

00:40:38   fiction but so I appreciate the world [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2438">TS</a>]

00:40:40   building and you're kinda like all these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2440">TS</a>]

00:40:43   cool slogans oh that's a clever [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2443">TS</a>]

00:40:44   combination of words no doublethink ya [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2444">TS</a>]

00:40:46   ando mini true [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2446">TS</a>]

00:40:49   whoo that's great and and then you start [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2449">TS</a>]

00:40:52   getting into the the characters and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2452">TS</a>]

00:40:54   story you're like okay that's you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2454">TS</a>]

00:40:56   and then you hit the essay [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2456">TS</a>]

00:40:58   yeah and now it's the you know the world [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2458">TS</a>]

00:41:02   building is still very good but now you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2462">TS</a>]

00:41:06   see after 25 some 30 years [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2466">TS</a>]

00:41:11   you see the the combinations of words [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2471">TS</a>]

00:41:14   and the double think the inn in real [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2474">TS</a>]

00:41:17   life and you're going oh that's not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2477">TS</a>]

00:41:18   really clever with world-building that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2478">TS</a>]

00:41:20   actually happening [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2480">TS</a>]

00:41:21   Oh God and it's much darker and more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2481">TS</a>]

00:41:25   depressing so I mean it i would say it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2485">TS</a>]

00:41:28   is a great book i can't say i like it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2488">TS</a>]

00:41:31   but it's a great book you have to you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2491">TS</a>]

00:41:33   should read it one of the nice things in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2493">TS</a>]

00:41:35   that a.m animal farm episode of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2495">TS</a>]

00:41:37   sophomore lid which is good i recommend [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2497">TS</a>]

00:41:39   it to people it's a it's a really fun [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2499">TS</a>]

00:41:40   episode [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2500">TS</a>]

00:41:41   although John you and Elliot sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2501">TS</a>]

00:41:44   spent a lot of time like not talking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2504">TS</a>]

00:41:46   about the book before perfect talking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2506">TS</a>]

00:41:48   about the book but the point that I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2508">TS</a>]

00:41:50   think Elliot made in that episode is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2510">TS</a>]

00:41:51   george orwell eric blair was a socialist [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2511">TS</a>]

00:41:55   but he was also waste a pretty strident [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2515">TS</a>]

00:41:57   anti Stalinist and that a lot of his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2517">TS</a>]

00:42:02   work is commentary on you know it's not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2522">TS</a>]

00:42:06   just about like future peril it's about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2526">TS</a>]

00:42:08   the Soviet Union and about the way that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2528">TS</a>]

00:42:10   information is controlled in the Soviet [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2530">TS</a>]

00:42:12   Union and so great you know that that is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2532">TS</a>]

00:42:14   you know some of what he's doing here is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2534">TS</a>]

00:42:16   not is not a warning about the future [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2536">TS</a>]

00:42:20   it's a warning about his present and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2540">TS</a>]

00:42:23   think that's kind of one interesting way [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2543">TS</a>]

00:42:25   of looking at it also getting back to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2545">TS</a>]

00:42:28   him being an SAS yeah you can really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2548">TS</a>]

00:42:30   read this whole book as being somebody [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2550">TS</a>]

00:42:34   who is really interested in the idea of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2554">TS</a>]

00:42:37   a new language that suppresses nuanced [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2557">TS</a>]

00:42:40   and that you can control your society by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2560">TS</a>]

00:42:42   coming up with a new language and that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2562">TS</a>]

00:42:44   he kind of built a whole story around [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2564">TS</a>]

00:42:45   that because at its core I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2565">TS</a>]

00:42:48   sometimes the Newspeak is what this is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2568">TS</a>]

00:42:51   kind of about and the fact that it ends [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2571">TS</a>]

00:42:53   with a lengthy essay about Newspeak that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2573">TS</a>]

00:42:57   is interestingly enough and this is the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2577">TS</a>]

00:42:58   glimmer of hope it is written kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2578">TS</a>]

00:43:01   from an in world perspective word is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2581">TS</a>]

00:43:02   referred to as something that happened [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2582">TS</a>]

00:43:04   in the past but it's written standard [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2584">TS</a>]

00:43:06   English so the suggestion is that in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2586">TS</a>]

00:43:09   end this regime did fall and that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2589">TS</a>]

00:43:12   English standard English returned [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2592">TS</a>]

00:43:14   because of that sa but I but you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2594">TS</a>]

00:43:18   that aside it sort of feels to me like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2598">TS</a>]

00:43:20   the essay was really wanted to do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2600">TS</a>]

00:43:23   andrea was a way to explore those [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2603">TS</a>]

00:43:25   concepts about what if we had you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2605">TS</a>]

00:43:28   double plus good and I'm good and you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2608">TS</a>]

00:43:30   know I and and boiling the language down [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2610">TS</a>]

00:43:32   to this tiny controlled set of words one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2612">TS</a>]

00:43:35   that was kind of thing at the time right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2615">TS</a>]

00:43:37   taking a thought experiment and building [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2617">TS</a>]

00:43:39   it out and then turning it into a novel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2619">TS</a>]

00:43:41   and say okay what would we do in this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2621">TS</a>]

00:43:44   situation and and so it's not written [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2624">TS</a>]

00:43:46   like like a prose craftsman like coming [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2626">TS</a>]

00:43:50   up with a great plot and prose [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2630">TS</a>]

00:43:51   everything it's it's how can we tell [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2631">TS</a>]

00:43:54   this lesson through fiction and you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2634">TS</a>]

00:43:58   the Inklings doodle did it a little bit [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2638">TS</a>]

00:44:00   and r and then it a little bit [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2640">TS</a>]

00:44:04   there's I mean there's literally like a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2644">TS</a>]

00:44:05   hundred and fifty page segment of Atlas [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2645">TS</a>]

00:44:07   Shrugged that is a radio speech that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2647">TS</a>]

00:44:09   supposedly takes an hour and like no [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2649">TS</a>]

00:44:12   that's about five days I i think that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2652">TS</a>]

00:44:14   it's worth reading this book simply for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2654">TS</a>]

00:44:17   this very reason because today we're so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2657">TS</a>]

00:44:21   steeped in server a post Raymond Carver [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2661">TS</a>]

00:44:24   world where in the literary world at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2664">TS</a>]

00:44:26   least the the pinnacle of literature is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2666">TS</a>]

00:44:30   writing convincing characters and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2670">TS</a>]

00:44:32   writing convincing dialogue and having [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2672">TS</a>]

00:44:34   this and run these moments that feel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2674">TS</a>]

00:44:37   real and we've got we've gotten kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2677">TS</a>]

00:44:39   so into that and we forgot that there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2679">TS</a>]

00:44:41   are other ways to write books and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2681">TS</a>]

00:44:43   certainly I think the mid-century [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2683">TS</a>]

00:44:45   everyone was writing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2685">TS</a>]

00:44:47   ideabooks I mean with brave new world [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2687">TS</a>]

00:44:50   was ideabook this is an idea but yeah a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2690">TS</a>]

00:44:52   lot of science fiction around this time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2692">TS</a>]

00:44:54   are ideabooks but a lot of major works [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2694">TS</a>]

00:44:56   of literature are were ideabooks too i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2696">TS</a>]

00:44:59   think what's interesting when you when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2699">TS</a>]

00:45:01   you mentioned that Jason that the last [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2701">TS</a>]

00:45:03   essay they're being written serve in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2703">TS</a>]

00:45:06   World the about the Newspeak it actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2706">TS</a>]

00:45:11   reminded me why I was reading it through [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2711">TS</a>]

00:45:12   of the fact the appendix to the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2712">TS</a>]

00:45:15   handmaid's tale which is also lets it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2715">TS</a>]

00:45:18   was sort of this ostensibly scholarly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2718">TS</a>]

00:45:21   look back on the book you've just read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2721">TS</a>]

00:45:23   and it kind of it has very strict a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2723">TS</a>]

00:45:26   strange effect where your kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2726">TS</a>]

00:45:28   invited to look at this whole book that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2728">TS</a>]

00:45:30   you've wrapped in now as well we don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2730">TS</a>]

00:45:32   know whether this was true or not or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2732">TS</a>]

00:45:33   whether this was a work of propaganda [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2733">TS</a>]

00:45:36   or what it was and up till now you've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2736">TS</a>]

00:45:38   been very deeply invested in the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2738">TS</a>]

00:45:41   characters and and that's a lot of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2741">TS</a>]

00:45:44   people point to that ending of the book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2744">TS</a>]

00:45:45   is though it's something kind of a Miss [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2745">TS</a>]

00:45:48   misstep almost i don't know i don't want [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2748">TS</a>]

00:45:51   to read that book but it had that same [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2751">TS</a>]

00:45:54   effect at the end of 94 of kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2754">TS</a>]

00:45:58   popping me out of this world and making [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2758">TS</a>]

00:46:00   me look at everything as you know ideas [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2760">TS</a>]

00:46:05   and stand-ins for you know Stalinism or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2765">TS</a>]

00:46:08   whatever it's funny you mentioned [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2768">TS</a>]

00:46:10   margaret atwood right because one of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2770">TS</a>]

00:46:12   pieces that i read in prepping for this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2772">TS</a>]

00:46:14   podcast isn't is an essay by margaret [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2774">TS</a>]

00:46:17   atwood about that final essay in 1984 so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2777">TS</a>]

00:46:20   i think was definitely hiring [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2780">TS</a>]

00:46:21   influential to her [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2781">TS</a>]

00:46:23   perhaps what even when writing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2783">TS</a>]

00:46:24   handmaid's tale and she she's one of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2784">TS</a>]

00:46:26   those people who believes that you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2786">TS</a>]

00:46:28   you need to read it as a not just you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2788">TS</a>]

00:46:30   know it's not written as hey it's me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2790">TS</a>]

00:46:32   george orwell let me talk about Newspeak [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2792">TS</a>]

00:46:35   it's like scholarly work in world and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2795">TS</a>]

00:46:37   you know science fiction readers are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2797">TS</a>]

00:46:38   more used to that conceit maybe then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2798">TS</a>]

00:46:40   then people who are reading more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2800">TS</a>]

00:46:42   mainstream stuff but it's an important [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2802">TS</a>]

00:46:44   distinction that it's it's sort of not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2804">TS</a>]

00:46:46   breaking the the the wall in order to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2806">TS</a>]

00:46:51   talk about how the book was done it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2811">TS</a>]

00:46:52   been it's instead this retrospective [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2812">TS</a>]

00:46:54   thing but I mean you also see that this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2814">TS</a>]

00:46:57   is what drives him this is the thing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2817">TS</a>]

00:46:58   stuff he's most interested in we've seen [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2818">TS</a>]

00:47:00   it in something like politics in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2820">TS</a>]

00:47:01   English language this is the stuff that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2821">TS</a>]

00:47:03   george orwell was fascinated by and that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2823">TS</a>]

00:47:06   the story itself i do think the story [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2826">TS</a>]

00:47:08   suffers in from modernize in the fact [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2828">TS</a>]

00:47:10   that we have seen a lot of dystopias now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2830">TS</a>]

00:47:12   and and so perhaps it in 1949 this would [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2832">TS</a>]

00:47:17   have been a lot fresher but a lot of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2837">TS</a>]

00:47:19   people have done this kind of dystopian [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2839">TS</a>]

00:47:21   since then so there's there's less [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2841">TS</a>]

00:47:23   shocked in in in what you see in it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2843">TS</a>]

00:47:26   although they're funny moments I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2846">TS</a>]

00:47:27   you you know that the the it's almost [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2847">TS</a>]

00:47:30   like a comedy gag where he keeps taking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2850">TS</a>]

00:47:31   out of cigarettes and the tobacco flies [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2851">TS</a>]

00:47:34   out of them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2854">TS</a>]

00:47:34   that's money and make and and they talk [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2854">TS</a>]

00:47:36   about the victory gin which I mean I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2856">TS</a>]

00:47:38   don't even want to know what's in it but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2858">TS</a>]

00:47:39   it's he describes in detail and its [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2859">TS</a>]

00:47:41   second and it sounds terrible oily yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2861">TS</a>]

00:47:44   that's good in the end the coffee that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2864">TS</a>]

00:47:47   not any good and the chocolate rations [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2867">TS</a>]

00:47:50   which when he finally have some real [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2870">TS</a>]

00:47:51   chocolate he describes what the actual [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2871">TS</a>]

00:47:53   chocolate tastes like after complaining [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2873">TS</a>]

00:47:55   about them cutting the rations and it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2875">TS</a>]

00:47:57   like something that was from like some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2877">TS</a>]

00:48:00   it's like the Ash left over after [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2880">TS</a>]

00:48:02   something burned is what the chocolate [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2882">TS</a>]

00:48:04   tastes like so there's i do think that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2884">TS</a>]

00:48:06   there's some funny things in there too [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2886">TS</a>]

00:48:07   or when O'Brien uh gives him a drink and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2887">TS</a>]

00:48:09   since it's called wine [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2889">TS</a>]

00:48:10   yeah well as for i knows this is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2890">TS</a>]

00:48:15   something i was i was gonna ask erica to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2895">TS</a>]

00:48:17   how much of knowing the tropes and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2897">TS</a>]

00:48:21   knowing the details you know coming at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2901">TS</a>]

00:48:26   this fresh it's it's you know you don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2906">TS</a>]

00:48:28   know those things and like even my my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2908">TS</a>]

00:48:30   children no big brother than a Winston [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2910">TS</a>]

00:48:32   Smith they know we have always they do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2912">TS</a>]

00:48:34   jokes we have always been at war with my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2914">TS</a>]

00:48:36   brother right now see I didn't even know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2916">TS</a>]

00:48:38   that they haven't read the book right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2918">TS</a>]

00:48:41   but they've seen references to it online [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2921">TS</a>]

00:48:43   they've seen references and TV shows or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2923">TS</a>]

00:48:45   other things and so we were talking it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2925">TS</a>]

00:48:48   over like the other day the 15 year olds [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2928">TS</a>]

00:48:51   like when he reading is 1984 and the int [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2931">TS</a>]

00:48:54   runs through all these things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2934">TS</a>]

00:48:55   war is peace and you know and then a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2935">TS</a>]

00:48:59   commercial for whose adaptation of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2939">TS</a>]

00:49:01   handmade and the handmaid's tale comes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2941">TS</a>]

00:49:05   on and he's riveted he's like what's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2945">TS</a>]

00:49:08   that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2948">TS</a>]

00:49:09   so it's based on a book by margaret [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2949">TS</a>]

00:49:10   atwood what's going on well here's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2950">TS</a>]

00:49:12   basic story and he got more and more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2952">TS</a>]

00:49:15   upset as i was telling him just like the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2955">TS</a>]

00:49:17   blurb from the book right and that's not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2957">TS</a>]

00:49:19   even you know that's like the tiniest [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2959">TS</a>]

00:49:21   amount of detail of the thing and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2961">TS</a>]

00:49:24   think i'm curious to see what happens if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2964">TS</a>]

00:49:27   and when he reads that without any of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2967">TS</a>]

00:49:29   the preamble that he had four 1984 like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2969">TS</a>]

00:49:32   1984 he knows it right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2972">TS</a>]

00:49:34   yeah he's hurt at all yeah well I've I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2974">TS</a>]

00:49:37   felt like I really only had the very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2977">TS</a>]

00:49:40   broadest broad strokes I I knew even [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2980">TS</a>]

00:49:43   less than your kids did I didn't know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2983">TS</a>]

00:49:44   the characters name you know if I heard [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2984">TS</a>]

00:49:46   the phrase Ministry of Truth didn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2986">TS</a>]

00:49:47   actually know what it referred to and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2987">TS</a>]

00:49:50   they knew that long five uses the same [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2990">TS</a>]

00:49:52   terms and that's a 94 reference you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2992">TS</a>]

00:49:55   might have gotten it from there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2995">TS</a>]

00:49:56   that actually probably is where i doing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2996">TS</a>]

00:49:59   and it's another 30 number huh and and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/2999">TS</a>]

00:50:03   yes I used Italian totalitarian society [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3003">TS</a>]

00:50:06   and he and I knew the big brother you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3006">TS</a>]

00:50:09   know they were they were being watched [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3009">TS</a>]

00:50:10   all the time and i think i heard that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3010">TS</a>]

00:50:12   police that really that was it I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3012">TS</a>]

00:50:13   for me it was it was sort of like I had [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3013">TS</a>]

00:50:15   these tentpole phrases and everything [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3015">TS</a>]

00:50:18   was just sort of coloring in and filling [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3018">TS</a>]

00:50:21   it in but I certainly as difficult as it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3021">TS</a>]

00:50:23   was to read in part because of the way [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3023">TS</a>]

00:50:25   the world is today but it's still [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3025">TS</a>]

00:50:28   nothing compared to what I experienced [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3028">TS</a>]

00:50:30   when i read The Handmaid's Tale which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3030">TS</a>]

00:50:32   many years ago because that actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3032">TS</a>]

00:50:35   felt like a personal story told right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3035">TS</a>]

00:50:37   the point of view of a character [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3037">TS</a>]

00:50:39   this was the outline of a character who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3039">TS</a>]

00:50:41   was you know sort of swooping his way [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3041">TS</a>]

00:50:44   through this world and the world [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3044">TS</a>]

00:50:45   illustrate the worldly matters [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3045">TS</a>]

00:50:47   yeah I will say also that not to get to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3047">TS</a>]

00:50:50   trivialize this but I mean when you get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3050">TS</a>]

00:50:52   to the point where star trek the next [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3052">TS</a>]

00:50:53   generation does an entire hour about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3053">TS</a>]

00:50:55   breaking a character in a bit and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3055">TS</a>]

00:50:58   torture chamber in order to get them to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3058">TS</a>]

00:51:00   say two plus two is five essentially i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3060">TS</a>]

00:51:03   think that we've you know as a society [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3063">TS</a>]

00:51:05   we have as a as a pop culture we have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3065">TS</a>]

00:51:08   processed what happens in the last act [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3068">TS</a>]

00:51:10   1984 and kind of spat it out the other [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3070">TS</a>]

00:51:12   side now so as effective as it is i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3072">TS</a>]

00:51:15   think that at the same time like we've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3075">TS</a>]

00:51:17   all processed it now and that that is I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3077">TS</a>]

00:51:20   feel bad because that you know this is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3080">TS</a>]

00:51:22   this is what happens to works that are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3082">TS</a>]

00:51:23   this influential is that it's hard to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3083">TS</a>]

00:51:25   judge them as being as influential [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3085">TS</a>]

00:51:28   unites deserving as they should be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3088">TS</a>]

00:51:30   because all of it has you know it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3090">TS</a>]

00:51:32   seriously you read that and you're like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3092">TS</a>]

00:51:34   oh yeah there are there are four lights [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3094">TS</a>]

00:51:35   right i mean it's like it's the same [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3095">TS</a>]

00:51:37   thing and it's like yeah okay but almost [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3097">TS</a>]

00:51:40   every 1960 spy TV show did a variation [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3100">TS</a>]

00:51:43   on the Asher sequence right was always [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3103">TS</a>]

00:51:46   let's play the entire here in our room [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3106">TS</a>]

00:51:48   and break him and the entirety of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3108">TS</a>]

00:51:50   prisoners especially and and when I was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3110">TS</a>]

00:51:51   so young adult novels and held today [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3111">TS</a>]

00:51:53   exactly right so that you see that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3113">TS</a>]

00:51:55   influence influential nature of it but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3115">TS</a>]

00:51:57   that makes it hard to kind of you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3117">TS</a>]

00:51:59   it's hard to hard to judge it there i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3119">TS</a>]

00:52:01   wanted the the thing decor this we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3121">TS</a>]

00:52:05   talked about it a little bit but the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3125">TS</a>]

00:52:07   thing that really i think has the most [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3127">TS</a>]

00:52:09   residents is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3129">TS</a>]

00:52:09   is this idea of information and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3129">TS</a>]

00:52:13   controlling information and and yes and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3133">TS</a>]

00:52:15   language and how people talk and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3135">TS</a>]

00:52:17   idea of getting people to believe things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3137">TS</a>]

00:52:19   it in the in a way like fahrenheit 451 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3139">TS</a>]

00:52:21   some of the people don't care but also [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3141">TS</a>]

00:52:23   its this complete control like if we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3143">TS</a>]

00:52:26   tell you something that is false and and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3146">TS</a>]

00:52:30   say it's true then you will believe it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3150">TS</a>]

00:52:33   and if you if you try to check up on us [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3153">TS</a>]

00:52:35   you will find that all of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3155">TS</a>]

00:52:37   information its kind of gas lighting on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3157">TS</a>]

00:52:39   a grand scale like then all of your all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3159">TS</a>]

00:52:41   of your all of your reference material [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3161">TS</a>]

00:52:43   will agree with the lie and at one point [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3163">TS</a>]

00:52:46   Smith and when he's being tortured says [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3166">TS</a>]

00:52:48   to himself well everything in the world [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3168">TS</a>]

00:52:51   happens in our minds as interpreted by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3171">TS</a>]

00:52:53   our minds and every mind believes this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3173">TS</a>]

00:52:55   thing to be true then is it not true and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3175">TS</a>]

00:52:58   I thought I found that fascinating the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3178">TS</a>]

00:53:00   idea that that its core this is a book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3180">TS</a>]

00:53:02   about complete control of information [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3182">TS</a>]

00:53:04   and that if you can control information [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3184">TS</a>]

00:53:06   you control reality because that's all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3186">TS</a>]

00:53:09   that is required [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3189">TS</a>]

00:53:10   yeah I i used to work at a biotech [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3190">TS</a>]

00:53:11   company that in was interested the CEO [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3191">TS</a>]

00:53:17   is interested in research into the brain [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3197">TS</a>]

00:53:20   and some really kind of out-there stuff [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3200">TS</a>]

00:53:21   and we would have conferences from time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3201">TS</a>]

00:53:24   to time and some of the presentations of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3204">TS</a>]

00:53:28   the conference's talking about brain [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3208">TS</a>]

00:53:30   chemistry and the way the human brain [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3210">TS</a>]

00:53:32   processes its input and you know what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3212">TS</a>]

00:53:35   what the nature of reality is and how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3215">TS</a>]

00:53:37   much it's actually based on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3217">TS</a>]

00:53:38   chemicals in the brain and what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3218">TS</a>]

00:53:40   receptors they happen to attach [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3220">TS</a>]

00:53:41   themselves to the idea that that yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3221">TS</a>]

00:53:44   that everybody just choosing to believe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3224">TS</a>]

00:53:47   something different and in that this one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3227">TS</a>]

00:53:51   character is the guy who's actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3231">TS</a>]

00:53:52   crazy and it's everybody else that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3232">TS</a>]

00:53:54   saying isn't that far off from some of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3234">TS</a>]

00:53:57   the the the research and the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3237">TS</a>]

00:53:59   theories that I had learned about the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3239">TS</a>]

00:54:01   path so that was that was uncomfortable [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3241">TS</a>]

00:54:02   in an entirely different level like oh [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3242">TS</a>]

00:54:04   my god what what if he did flowed out of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3244">TS</a>]

00:54:07   the room but that could be a thing so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3247">TS</a>]

00:54:10   yeah it was trippy it's also i mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3250">TS</a>]

00:54:12   talking about the earpiece in fahrenheit [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3252">TS</a>]

00:54:14   451 and there's some there's some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3254">TS</a>]

00:54:16   interesting tech and brave new world [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3256">TS</a>]

00:54:17   that John and I talked about an event [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3257">TS</a>]

00:54:18   that episode of sophomore lit in 1984 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3258">TS</a>]

00:54:21   I'm struck by the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3261">TS</a>]

00:54:22   it is in a totalitarian state with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3262">TS</a>]

00:54:26   complete surveillance like Winston Smith [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3266">TS</a>]

00:54:27   got his little cubbyhole where he cannot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3267">TS</a>]

00:54:29   make noise but he can write in his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3269">TS</a>]

00:54:31   notebook without being seen by the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3271">TS</a>]

00:54:33   telescreen but I'm struck by the fact [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3273">TS</a>]

00:54:36   that there's no I mean other than [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3276">TS</a>]

00:54:39   essentially CCTV there's no like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3279">TS</a>]

00:54:41   location surveillance so it nor is there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3281">TS</a>]

00:54:44   a it seems like a like a data trail kind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3284">TS</a>]

00:54:49   of concept so he's able to get on a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3289">TS</a>]

00:54:51   train out into the country and walk [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3291">TS</a>]

00:54:53   around and end up in the woods and then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3293">TS</a>]

00:54:56   meet Julia and he's able to do that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3296">TS</a>]

00:54:59   maybe they go by different means in case [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3299">TS</a>]

00:55:01   they're followed but I did think oh haha [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3301">TS</a>]

00:55:03   yeah you can do that today right because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3303">TS</a>]

00:55:06   you would have to explain why your cell [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3306">TS</a>]

00:55:08   phone wasn't on or leave it behind and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3308">TS</a>]

00:55:11   you'd be you have to pay for the ticket [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3311">TS</a>]

00:55:13   with a code that is tied to you and all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3313">TS</a>]

00:55:16   these things that I kept thinking about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3316">TS</a>]

00:55:18   how there would be plenty more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3318">TS</a>]

00:55:20   technology has created plenty more ways [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3320">TS</a>]

00:55:22   to exert control over population than [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3322">TS</a>]

00:55:24   then you even see in 1984 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3324">TS</a>]

00:55:26   yeah and actually in in that case it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3326">TS</a>]

00:55:28   almost a little more fahrenheit 451 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3328">TS</a>]

00:55:30   esque in that you know the population [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3330">TS</a>]

00:55:33   has voluntarily given up information [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3333">TS</a>]

00:55:35   about where they are i mean how many [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3335">TS</a>]

00:55:37   people have their GPS just turned on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3337">TS</a>]

00:55:39   their cell phone all the time whereas [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3339">TS</a>]

00:55:42   you know if they if they did have that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3342">TS</a>]

00:55:43   technology right it would be very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3343">TS</a>]

00:55:45   difficult for them to to sneak away [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3345">TS</a>]

00:55:47   yeah it's interesting it's an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3347">TS</a>]

00:55:48   interesting world in that there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3348">TS</a>]

00:55:50   actually very little high technology in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3350">TS</a>]

00:55:53   this world it's it's all just kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3353">TS</a>]

00:55:55   reconfiguring things that sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3355">TS</a>]

00:55:58   existed in 1948 when he was writing this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3358">TS</a>]

00:56:00   book but the the and the other thing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3360">TS</a>]

00:56:02   that's interesting to me is that the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3362">TS</a>]

00:56:04   proletariat class [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3364">TS</a>]

00:56:06   it seems to be kind of left to their own [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3366">TS</a>]

00:56:09   devices they seem to be they seem to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3369">TS</a>]

00:56:11   have more of a connection to the past [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3371">TS</a>]

00:56:14   and what's interesting is that being a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3374">TS</a>]

00:56:18   member of the upper class seems to be a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3378">TS</a>]

00:56:21   trap as far as as Winston is concerned [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3381">TS</a>]

00:56:26   but it it it's remarkable in a way this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3386">TS</a>]

00:56:29   book you know I was talking about how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3389">TS</a>]

00:56:32   Bradbury as a kind of an autodidact was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3392">TS</a>]

00:56:34   kind of pushing his way up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3394">TS</a>]

00:56:35   and making a case for elitism or well [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3395">TS</a>]

00:56:40   came from a server impoverished [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3400">TS</a>]

00:56:43   gentility he is like his grandfather had [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3403">TS</a>]

00:56:47   a noble title i don't think it it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3407">TS</a>]

00:56:50   persisted to is his day but he went [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3410">TS</a>]

00:56:53   through you know all the education [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3413">TS</a>]

00:56:55   everything but but he let his life like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3415">TS</a>]

00:56:58   living amongst the slums and he actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3418">TS</a>]

00:57:01   wrote a book about like living rough in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3421">TS</a>]

00:57:03   the streets of Paris and London and so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3423">TS</a>]

00:57:06   he has this kind of a romantic view of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3426">TS</a>]

00:57:08   what it means to be poor and it's kinda [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3428">TS</a>]

00:57:10   like you know the pulp song common [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3430">TS</a>]

00:57:14   people i always feel it's kind of a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3434">TS</a>]

00:57:15   little bit uh it's a little bit [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3435">TS</a>]

00:57:18   condescending I i'm struck the polls are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3438">TS</a>]

00:57:20   very interesting in this because they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3440">TS</a>]

00:57:21   they have their they have the bars and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3441">TS</a>]

00:57:24   they they get to drink beer and they can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3444">TS</a>]

00:57:26   be those of they can read things I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3446">TS</a>]

00:57:28   it the the whatever they said seventeen [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3448">TS</a>]

00:57:30   percent of the population who can read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3450">TS</a>]

00:57:33   and they have their lottery that they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3453">TS</a>]

00:57:36   talk about I mean you you get it is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3456">TS</a>]

00:57:37   little bit of like the preparations for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3457">TS</a>]

00:57:39   like they have sport they have like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3459">TS</a>]

00:57:41   football and beer and things like that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3461">TS</a>]

00:57:44   and they're there in some ways they seem [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3464">TS</a>]

00:57:46   happier than the miserable people in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3466">TS</a>]

00:57:48   party in the outer party like winston [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3468">TS</a>]

00:57:50   smith that's interesting also a unlike [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3470">TS</a>]

00:57:54   something like like brave new world [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3474">TS</a>]

00:57:58   which is is weird and creepy but it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3478">TS</a>]

00:58:00   also super shiny and futuristic one of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3480">TS</a>]

00:58:03   the things that Orwell doesn't do here [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3483">TS</a>]

00:58:04   is have 1984b futuristic anyway there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3484">TS</a>]

00:58:07   are the telescreens and they provide [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3487">TS</a>]

00:58:08   this this complete viewing of everybody [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3488">TS</a>]

00:58:13   they can see you but like the world is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3493">TS</a>]

00:58:16   just awful like its battered and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3496">TS</a>]

00:58:18   everything is rationed and they the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3498">TS</a>]

00:58:20   things other than the government [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3500">TS</a>]

00:58:21   buildings everything is run down and you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3501">TS</a>]

00:58:25   can get this grimy you get the sense [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3505">TS</a>]

00:58:27   that the whole world yeah there's that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3507">TS</a>]

00:58:28   moment where he goes to fix the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3508">TS</a>]

00:58:29   neighbors the pipe in the neighbors sink [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3509">TS</a>]

00:58:32   and he looks at her and says she looks [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3512">TS</a>]

00:58:35   almost like she has dust in the cracks [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3515">TS</a>]

00:58:37   you know in the increases in her face [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3517">TS</a>]

00:58:39   and then she stands in better light was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3519">TS</a>]

00:58:40   like oh she does she does have dust on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3520">TS</a>]

00:58:43   her face because everything is just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3523">TS</a>]

00:58:44   dusty and grey and green [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3524">TS</a>]

00:58:46   and battered and falling apart and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3526">TS</a>]

00:58:49   kinda like that about it that this is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3529">TS</a>]

00:58:50   Aidan you know it's not a futuristic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3530">TS</a>]

00:58:53   world where we've traded our freedom for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3533">TS</a>]

00:58:55   comfort [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3535">TS</a>]

00:58:56   it is a drab awful totalitarian [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3536">TS</a>]

00:59:00   government where nobody has anything he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3540">TS</a>]

00:59:02   tries to find out find an old pro who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3542">TS</a>]

00:59:04   could tell him like was it better in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3544">TS</a>]

00:59:06   old days who cannot answer his question [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3546">TS</a>]

00:59:08   but I I like that about it yeah and that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3548">TS</a>]

00:59:11   ties into what John was saying earlier [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3551">TS</a>]

00:59:13   about the technology really just sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3553">TS</a>]

00:59:15   you know somewhat being a rehash of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3555">TS</a>]

00:59:17   technology that they had him and he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3557">TS</a>]

00:59:18   makes a point in one of the sah parts [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3558">TS</a>]

00:59:20   i'm talking about why that happens [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3560">TS</a>]

00:59:23   because you're quashing so much of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3563">TS</a>]

00:59:25   the creativity in the free thought I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3565">TS</a>]

00:59:27   mean the one person the guy who was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3567">TS</a>]

00:59:30   helping make the Newspeak dictionary the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3570">TS</a>]

00:59:32   11th version i had actually had such a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3572">TS</a>]

00:59:35   quick mind and with was an intelligent [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3575">TS</a>]

00:59:37   fellow my mind of course Winston Winston [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3577">TS</a>]

00:59:40   yes once knew he was going to disappear [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3580">TS</a>]

00:59:41   and then and then he did because anybody [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3581">TS</a>]

00:59:43   who is it is smart and creative enough [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3583">TS</a>]

00:59:45   to come up with a new technology that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3585">TS</a>]

00:59:47   would be helpful for everyone gets gets [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3587">TS</a>]

00:59:49   disappeared and vaporize pretty quick [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3589">TS</a>]

00:59:51   and he mentions that the all the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3591">TS</a>]

00:59:53   engineers are set to just improving the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3593">TS</a>]

00:59:57   weapons that can kill people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3597">TS</a>]

00:59:57   weapons that can kill people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3597">TS</a>]

01:00:00   when they already have the the nuclear [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3600">TS</a>]

01:00:01   bomb that can kill most effectively but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3601">TS</a>]

01:00:03   they spend all their time you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3603">TS</a>]

01:00:05   making poison gas and floating [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3605">TS</a>]

01:00:06   fortresses that are slightly better than [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3606">TS</a>]

01:00:09   others just to use up the resources so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3609">TS</a>]

01:00:11   that nobody can be happy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3611">TS</a>]

01:00:13   yes I'm story is really great because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3613">TS</a>]

01:00:16   that is a that is a wonderful bit piece [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3616">TS</a>]

01:00:18   of I think satire as well which is which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3618">TS</a>]

01:00:20   is Simon is a true believer right he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3620">TS</a>]

01:00:23   believes in the party and everything [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3623">TS</a>]

01:00:24   that's going on but he's still a threat [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3624">TS</a>]

01:00:26   because he's too smart and he he don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3626">TS</a>]

01:00:29   want they don't want people who are that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3629">TS</a>]

01:00:32   intelligent and can think that far ahead [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3632">TS</a>]

01:00:34   because that is dangerous to the party [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3634">TS</a>]

01:00:36   the party doesn't want outliers even if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3636">TS</a>]

01:00:39   they're on the parties side and so sign [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3639">TS</a>]

01:00:42   is doomed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3642">TS</a>]

01:00:43   even though he's totally on the side of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3643">TS</a>]

01:00:45   the party because he's just he's too [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3645">TS</a>]

01:00:46   bright and to creative and that is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3646">TS</a>]

01:00:48   that is a very cutting thing about how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3648">TS</a>]

01:00:50   like this is not this is not a system [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3650">TS</a>]

01:00:53   designed to bring out the best in people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3653">TS</a>]

01:00:55   and to advance the best people it is it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3655">TS</a>]

01:00:58   is meant to crush everybody even at its [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3658">TS</a>]

01:01:00   own death into its own detriment which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3660">TS</a>]

01:01:02   is what happens [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3662">TS</a>]

01:01:03   yeah and the character of persons who is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3663">TS</a>]

01:01:05   kind of the opposite is he's he's an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3665">TS</a>]

01:01:08   idiot but he's totally into the party [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3668">TS</a>]

01:01:10   and he is he's all for it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3670">TS</a>]

01:01:12   he he does the activities he raises the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3672">TS</a>]

01:01:14   money for the bunting he's teaching his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3674">TS</a>]

01:01:16   kids to be good and of course they spy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3676">TS</a>]

01:01:20   on him and his supposedly in his sleep [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3680">TS</a>]

01:01:22   he was talking about death big brother [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3682">TS</a>]

01:01:24   and so he ends up in prison and one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3684">TS</a>]

01:01:27   assumes killed sure you're wanted on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3687">TS</a>]

01:01:30   core 101 right yeah yeah it's a young [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3690">TS</a>]

01:01:34   person's Parsons rides rises high in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3694">TS</a>]

01:01:38   party because he is he is he's dumb and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3698">TS</a>]

01:01:42   and a true believer right and so he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3702">TS</a>]

01:01:45   he's not threatening in any way I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3705">TS</a>]

01:01:46   actually I mean if you back it out like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3706">TS</a>]

01:01:48   in brave new world there are a lot of we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3708">TS</a>]

01:01:51   see into the inner workings of the kind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3711">TS</a>]

01:01:54   of titans who control that society and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3714">TS</a>]

01:01:57   in 1984 we don't like we see a Brian [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3717">TS</a>]

01:01:59   who's in the inner party and he's got [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3719">TS</a>]

01:02:00   wine to prove it right but like big [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3720">TS</a>]

01:02:03   brother is strongly and prot implied [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3723">TS</a>]

01:02:05   that big brother does not exist and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3725">TS</a>]

01:02:07   perhaps never did exist and you do one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3727">TS</a>]

01:02:10   of the things i kinda like also about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3730">TS</a>]

01:02:11   this society is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3731">TS</a>]

01:02:13   it's like an empty machine like the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3733">TS</a>]

01:02:15   society is running itself at this point [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3735">TS</a>]

01:02:17   there is no dictator to speak of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3737">TS</a>]

01:02:20   there is just the party and it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3740">TS</a>]

01:02:22   completely faceless and that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3742">TS</a>]

01:02:24   interesting because if there are people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3744">TS</a>]

01:02:26   in positions of power then they can be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3746">TS</a>]

01:02:29   corrupt and they can be taken advantage [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3749">TS</a>]

01:02:31   of or they can overthrow the system and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3751">TS</a>]

01:02:33   in 1984 i think one of the chilling [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3753">TS</a>]

01:02:34   things about it is there are no leaders [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3754">TS</a>]

01:02:38   that it's just a blank machine [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3758">TS</a>]

01:02:41   big brother is as far as we can tell not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3761">TS</a>]

01:02:44   even a real person [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3764">TS</a>]

01:02:45   everybody's just cogs man yeah even [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3765">TS</a>]

01:02:47   though Brian right although I i went [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3767">TS</a>]

01:02:49   from a plot perspective ask i'm not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3769">TS</a>]

01:02:52   quite sure why O'Brien invest all the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3772">TS</a>]

01:02:55   time he does into inviting Winston at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3775">TS</a>]

01:02:59   and Julia over and talking to them and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3779">TS</a>]

01:03:01   giving them the book and then they get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3781">TS</a>]

01:03:02   him and then they spend all this time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3782">TS</a>]

01:03:04   deconstructing again is are they doing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3784">TS</a>]

01:03:06   it you know he's doing it for fun is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3786">TS</a>]

01:03:07   this to keep O'Brien busy it seems like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3787">TS</a>]

01:03:10   a lot of work to just screw around with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3790">TS</a>]

01:03:13   this one guy who's just rewriting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3793">TS</a>]

01:03:15   newspaper articles it it may just be to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3795">TS</a>]

01:03:17   keep him entertained you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3797">TS</a>]

01:03:19   yeah well i think i've read it is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3799">TS</a>]

01:03:21   O'Brien is a zealot and this is his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3801">TS</a>]

01:03:23   passion is making minds perfect before [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3803">TS</a>]

01:03:26   they shoot them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3806">TS</a>]

01:03:27   yeah and you know here's here's where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3807">TS</a>]

01:03:28   the heat he sees an opportunity because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3808">TS</a>]

01:03:31   I mean it seems like he planted that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3811">TS</a>]

01:03:34   seed himself seven years ago because I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3814">TS</a>]

01:03:36   mean unless unless we're supposed to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3816">TS</a>]

01:03:38   believe that Winston is psychic somehow [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3818">TS</a>]

01:03:39   which I doubt O'Brien that's somehow [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3819">TS</a>]

01:03:44   spoke to him probably through the Big [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3824">TS</a>]

01:03:45   Brother screen saying we will be no one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3825">TS</a>]

01:03:47   beat in the place where never any [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3827">TS</a>]

01:03:49   darkness or darkness never falls [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3829">TS</a>]

01:03:51   whatever it be exact scripters so yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3831">TS</a>]

01:03:54   so so really he has it you know he this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3834">TS</a>]

01:03:57   is this is past time he gets off on it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3837">TS</a>]

01:03:59   you know he's not a serial killer he's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3839">TS</a>]

01:04:01   serial reshape ER killer the cereal [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3841">TS</a>]

01:04:04   grain washer and I think I imagine it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3844">TS</a>]

01:04:07   his job to to root out these kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3847">TS</a>]

01:04:09   people who they think will be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3849">TS</a>]

01:04:11   troublesome because it seems clear at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3851">TS</a>]

01:04:14   the end that they knew everything that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3854">TS</a>]

01:04:17   Winston was doing yeah along every step [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3857">TS</a>]

01:04:20   so he had no [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3860">TS</a>]

01:04:22   you know real free freedom to do what he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3862">TS</a>]

01:04:26   was doing he thought it was getting away [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3866">TS</a>]

01:04:27   with everything he wasn't getting with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3867">TS</a>]

01:04:29   anything and so I think it's just the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3869">TS</a>]

01:04:31   system policing itself and just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3871">TS</a>]

01:04:33   self-perpetuating and then you create a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3873">TS</a>]

01:04:35   resistance I mean that the the whole [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3875">TS</a>]

01:04:37   Emmanuel Goldstein thing and and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3877">TS</a>]

01:04:39   creating enemies and creating and then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3879">TS</a>]

01:04:42   showing them being dispatched I mean you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3882">TS</a>]

01:04:44   could argue that that's also what's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3884">TS</a>]

01:04:45   going on here is one way to prevent [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3885">TS</a>]

01:04:48   their from being a real resistance is by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3888">TS</a>]

01:04:51   having a lot of thought police acting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3891">TS</a>]

01:04:53   like they're the resistance and sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3893">TS</a>]

01:04:55   snagging those interesting people and at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3895">TS</a>]

01:04:57   that point one you either get caught by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3897">TS</a>]

01:04:59   the thought police or to you become so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3899">TS</a>]

01:05:01   petrified that anybody could be the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3901">TS</a>]

01:05:02   thought police that you do nothing at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3902">TS</a>]

01:05:04   which point you know either way there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3904">TS</a>]

01:05:05   no resistance and then the acts of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3905">TS</a>]

01:05:08   resistance are meaningless anyway so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3908">TS</a>]

01:05:09   like having sex you you're not supposed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3909">TS</a>]

01:05:11   to enjoy sex but it doesn't really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3911">TS</a>]

01:05:13   matter if you do or not but then you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3913">TS</a>]

01:05:14   think you're getting away with something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3914">TS</a>]

01:05:15   that you're not you're just doing with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3915">TS</a>]

01:05:17   the party wants to do anything but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3917">TS</a>]

01:05:18   Winston I think Winston feels that way [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3918">TS</a>]

01:05:20   to right i mean he he says that he he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3920">TS</a>]

01:05:24   knows he's going to be killed for this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3924">TS</a>]

01:05:26   he knows he's going to be caught and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3926">TS</a>]

01:05:28   killed he does it anyway [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3928">TS</a>]

01:05:30   he also believes that the one thing they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3930">TS</a>]

01:05:31   can't take away from him [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3931">TS</a>]

01:05:33   is that what he thinks he's turned his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3933">TS</a>]

01:05:35   hatred of Big Brother and at the end he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3935">TS</a>]

01:05:37   loves big brother [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3937">TS</a>]

01:05:38   yep yep although he does I mean he does [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3938">TS</a>]

01:05:40   say I he's doing he's doing double think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3940">TS</a>]

01:05:44   at that point right he is he is holding [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3944">TS</a>]

01:05:46   within his heart the knowledge that he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3946">TS</a>]

01:05:50   has this other set of thoughts but he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3950">TS</a>]

01:05:54   not you know but he's also also loving [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3954">TS</a>]

01:05:57   big brother i think i found that ending [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3957">TS</a>]

01:05:59   a little less concrete than i did when i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3959">TS</a>]

01:06:01   read it as a teenager about about where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3961">TS</a>]

01:06:04   it Winston Smith really leaves off in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3964">TS</a>]

01:06:07   that he loved big brother I don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3967">TS</a>]

01:06:08   entirely believe that he truly loves big [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3968">TS</a>]

01:06:10   brother big brother and that's all in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3970">TS</a>]

01:06:12   that moment I mean maybe it's enough but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3972">TS</a>]

01:06:15   I i don't i don't believe it as much as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3975">TS</a>]

01:06:17   I used to I feel like butt but even if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3977">TS</a>]

01:06:20   he's capable of doing doublethink which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3980">TS</a>]

01:06:22   is what the whole party was your party [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3982">TS</a>]

01:06:24   has one anyway yes oh yeah no doubt [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3984">TS</a>]

01:06:27   about that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3987">TS</a>]

01:06:28   although there is an earlier you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3988">TS</a>]

01:06:29   when it ends he has you know he's fallen [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3989">TS</a>]

01:06:32   in love with big brother but he hasn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3992">TS</a>]

01:06:34   been shot yet [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3994">TS</a>]

01:06:35   earlier on you here have been like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3995">TS</a>]

01:06:38   thinking to himself about how if you can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/3998">TS</a>]

01:06:41   just keep one tiny little corner of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4001">TS</a>]

01:06:43   himself and you know let that corner but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4003">TS</a>]

01:06:47   let that hatred hatred flag fly at the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4007">TS</a>]

01:06:50   moment before he was shot right back of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4010">TS</a>]

01:06:52   the head then then he will have one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4012">TS</a>]

01:06:54   right so it's it is ambiguous and in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4014">TS</a>]

01:06:56   very very end [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4016">TS</a>]

01:06:58   does he manage to to unleash that hatred [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4018">TS</a>]

01:07:00   in that fury before he is actually dead [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4020">TS</a>]

01:07:03   we don't know yet what it what it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4023">TS</a>]

01:07:04   doesn't do is the book does not end with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4024">TS</a>]

01:07:06   that moment of it doesn't like The [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4026">TS</a>]

01:07:09   Sopranos right where it's like is that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4029">TS</a>]

01:07:11   guy coming to kill me or is this just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4031">TS</a>]

01:07:13   another day but that is the position [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4033">TS</a>]

01:07:14   that he's in right which is which is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4034">TS</a>]

01:07:16   he's been given this cushy job where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4036">TS</a>]

01:07:19   people that was kind of funny too [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4039">TS</a>]

01:07:21   he's on like a subcommittee of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4041">TS</a>]

01:07:22   subcommittee where people show up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4042">TS</a>]

01:07:24   sometimes they don't show up and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4044">TS</a>]

01:07:25   sometimes the show up and they just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4045">TS</a>]

01:07:26   leave because there's nothing to do and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4046">TS</a>]

01:07:27   there they were given this pointless [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4047">TS</a>]

01:07:29   task but it's all a whole bunch of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4049">TS</a>]

01:07:30   people like Winston and they're being [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4050">TS</a>]

01:07:32   taken care of and being paid and they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4052">TS</a>]

01:07:34   can kind of do anything because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4054">TS</a>]

01:07:35   essentially they're just be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4055">TS</a>]

01:07:36   rehabilitated and then at some point [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4056">TS</a>]

01:07:38   they'll be shot but that's what this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4058">TS</a>]

01:07:41   again [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4061">TS</a>]

01:07:42   that seems like a long way to go but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4062">TS</a>]

01:07:44   that's what any other good way to use up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4064">TS</a>]

01:07:45   resources we gotta say is an adaptation [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4065">TS</a>]

01:07:48   of 1984 that ended with don't stop [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4068">TS</a>]

01:07:50   believin yeah would be amazing could be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4070">TS</a>]

01:07:52   made the what happens inside the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4072">TS</a>]

01:07:55   ministry of love in the narrow wide [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4075">TS</a>]

01:07:58   corridors there is just as journey [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4078">TS</a>]

01:08:01   playing on a loop on the telescreen [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4081">TS</a>]

01:08:03   because that would drive you mad [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4083">TS</a>]

01:08:06   yeah oh my god you guys you just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4086">TS</a>]

01:08:15   have it's got its got jokes it's funny [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4095">TS</a>]

01:08:17   it's makes you think it makes you care [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4097">TS</a>]

01:08:20   about the main characters which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4100">TS</a>]

01:08:21   ultimately i think is the biggest [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4101">TS</a>]

01:08:24   problem for me with 94 is I die I wasn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4104">TS</a>]

01:08:29   happy for what happened to Winston Smith [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4109">TS</a>]

01:08:31   but I really didn't like him either the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4111">TS</a>]

01:08:34   elephant getting my dystopian future a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4114">TS</a>]

01:08:36   little town he's kind of a blank he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4116">TS</a>]

01:08:39   you know he's he's there like Erica said [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4119">TS</a>]

01:08:42   he's there to kind of switch you through [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4122">TS</a>]

01:08:44   the world and so that you can see it all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4124">TS</a>]

01:08:47   because that's what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4127">TS</a>]

01:08:49   gonna do yeah i think i think you're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4129">TS</a>]

01:08:50   right John I think I think this is an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4130">TS</a>]

01:08:53   important book and I think it's good for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4133">TS</a>]

01:08:55   people to read it and be conversing in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4135">TS</a>]

01:08:56   it because it is important but there are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4136">TS</a>]

01:09:00   just those two essays who are way better [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4140">TS</a>]

01:09:04   reads really then the 1984 us [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4144">TS</a>]

01:09:08   well I i think sometimes you just have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4148">TS</a>]

01:09:10   to read the foundational texts the right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4150">TS</a>]

01:09:12   I agree this is clearly one of the most [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4152">TS</a>]

01:09:16   important books of the 20th century [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4156">TS</a>]

01:09:18   completely grad it should be read either [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4158">TS</a>]

01:09:21   that's why we force people high school [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4161">TS</a>]

01:09:22   career was probably not the best time to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4162">TS</a>]

01:09:24   read it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4164">TS</a>]

01:09:26   no i agree i think i think people should [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4166">TS</a>]

01:09:28   read it because i think it's i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4168">TS</a>]

01:09:29   you're a better person after having read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4169">TS</a>]

01:09:32   it in terms of being conversant with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4172">TS</a>]

01:09:34   people's references to it and also to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4174">TS</a>]

01:09:38   think about some of these issues of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4178">TS</a>]

01:09:40   language and how we treat information [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4180">TS</a>]

01:09:43   and facts and how in the dangers of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4183">TS</a>]

01:09:47   society gone wrong and directions that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4187">TS</a>]

01:09:51   society has gone in the past and may [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4191">TS</a>]

01:09:53   extend to see some of these techniques [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4193">TS</a>]

01:09:55   at work in the present day or or in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4195">TS</a>]

01:09:58   things like Max Headroom I mean max [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4198">TS</a>]

01:10:00   headroom has a lot of this DNA and oh [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4200">TS</a>]

01:10:03   yeah absolutely when they're there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4203">TS</a>]

01:10:04   there's a reason why it's if people are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4204">TS</a>]

01:10:06   buying this book now right is because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4206">TS</a>]

01:10:09   the idea that facts are not facts that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4209">TS</a>]

01:10:12   can be changed at any time and you can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4212">TS</a>]

01:10:14   have your facts and I can have my facts [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4214">TS</a>]

01:10:16   and the past doesn't really exist we can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4216">TS</a>]

01:10:18   change it to what we need is a very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4218">TS</a>]

01:10:20   resonant at this moment it is and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4220">TS</a>]

01:10:22   reading this book is it's very chilling [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4222">TS</a>]

01:10:25   when you think about now even with the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4225">TS</a>]

01:10:27   technology we have now that this could [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4227">TS</a>]

01:10:31   you know facts can change you have to be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4231">TS</a>]

01:10:34   hyper-vigilant and went today Winston [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4234">TS</a>]

01:10:38   Smith would just be editing the x is CMS [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4238">TS</a>]

01:10:41   wikipedia right or already which BB n92 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4241">TS</a>]

01:10:44   wikipedia to be in The Times a CMS that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4244">TS</a>]

01:10:47   you know the times is what he's editing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4247">TS</a>]

01:10:48   here but yeah he's going to be in a web [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4248">TS</a>]

01:10:50   page editing the web pages they won't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4250">TS</a>]

01:10:51   even need to print there's a passage [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4251">TS</a>]

01:10:53   about like how they print new copies of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4253">TS</a>]

01:10:55   the old issues and put them out there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4255">TS</a>]

01:10:56   I'm like well we've got that solved now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4256">TS</a>]

01:10:58   you just added the old story [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4258">TS</a>]

01:11:00   I mean we had that discussion [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4260">TS</a>]

01:11:02   at my old job we have that discussion i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4262">TS</a>]

01:11:04   remember our good pal phillip michael [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4264">TS</a>]

01:11:06   said at one point we're not going to do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4266">TS</a>]

01:11:08   you know Soviet revisionism on articles [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4268">TS</a>]

01:11:11   if we if we added an article we're going [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4271">TS</a>]

01:11:13   to put a big note at the bottom saying [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4273">TS</a>]

01:11:14   we added this article and you see that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4274">TS</a>]

01:11:16   but one of the reasons you do that is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4276">TS</a>]

01:11:18   because otherwise you end up in this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4278">TS</a>]

01:11:19   Winston Smith situation where the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4279">TS</a>]

01:11:22   article doesn't say what it used to say [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4282">TS</a>]

01:11:24   and that is not that is not good so it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4284">TS</a>]

01:11:26   much easier to do that these days than [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMYaTA74/4286">TS</a>]
