There have been numerous studies done on the effects of power and authority.The Stanford prison experiment is the most famous one, although severely flawed. There's also a large pool of literature on political incentive and the dynamics involved.
Of course, he didn't go into that.
Right, that research definitely exists and I'll even go so far as to say it has real and damaging (although not fatal) implications for certain political theories that advocate centralized power. But like you said, Orwell didn't investigate these. And I'm not saying it's an author's role to go read scientific journals and turn it into a novel, but it is an author's job to present give us insight rather than feed us details of an imaginary world (at least when you're writing a book like 1984). Like On Walden Pond does a minimum of investigating, we're given only details we either know or could trivially discover in our yards yet it does manage to investigate something about the human condition and our place in the world, it forms an argument, in one way or another, for the author's point of view. -
2015-10-26 at 6:29 PM UTC1984 is a simple book about a beautiful, all consuming love consummated in a park and the womans harsh, overbearing father in a world that doesn't understand their love. 1984 was interesting a while ago. I literally read it a decade and a half ago and think it should be taught in elementary schools. There are really many themes which are quite freakishly accurate it's quite surprising orwell wasn't more heavily involved in the callousness of bureaucracy. Many of the topics are still prevalent (the need for an enemy, surveillance, rewriting of history etc.) but I didn't relate to any of the characters or feel sympathy for them because of Autism.
The answer to 1984 is 2001 a space odyssey -
2015-10-26 at 9:05 PM UTC^I like 2001 space odyssey.. saw it for the first time all the way through a few days ago. But how is it the answer to 1984? I just figure the future would be even bleaker if it went on the same path as it did in 1984 than it would be in 2001 space odyssey. Either way both were good movies.

It has nothing to with favoritism or Lanny hating my guts. It's just a shame to spoil honest discussion.

2015-10-27 at 2:36 AM UTCNot that anyone needs my blessing but do whatever you want ITT. I have the intellectual capacity to ignore posts I don't find interesting, I would hope the rest of you do too. If anyone wants to talk about 1984 then that's what we'll do, if you want to do something else then go for it. I could give a shit if you don't want to talk about 1984, I think it's dull too.
1984 is a simple book about a beautiful, all consuming love consummated in a park and the womans harsh, overbearing father in a world that doesn't understand their love.
Shitty kinda love if he sells her out in the end. I also feel like a lot more time was spent on the villainy of a totalitarian government than any meaninful love story. In fact Winston himself describes the whole affair as more titillating as a form of rebellion than as anything resembling a healthy or meaningful relationship.1984 was interesting a while ago. I literally read it a decade and a half ago and think it should be taught in elementary schools.

If some jerkoff wrote a book about how important a good typing speed is 50 years ago they would have made an accurate prediction, that doesn't mean we should be forcing typewriter fanfic on children and calling it world class literature. -
