The quote summarizes the main theme of the book by George Orwell. To think about the implications of this quote puts us in a deep thought of what history is and what it should and do. represent.
We always tell ourselves that history repeats itself, history is a reminder, history is a life lesson that we should apply to our everyday lives. But what happens if history is skewed?
Skewed to reflect someone's ideas, beliefs. Adjusted and modified to fit one's motives? And how about the people that should push against this modification?
The people must think by themselves and preserve history. I for one am not knowledgeable enough to tell history, let alone remember actual truths about it. But it makes sense that we should be aware enough of real history and preserve it.
How many revolutions or major historical events has happened? What is written about it? What is the chance that this article I'm reading right know skews the events to fit its narrative? How could I even know what I'm reading is real? Credibility of the platform?
With the control of media over most of what we read and hear, I do not know.
P.S. Most of the quotes that are being displayed here are just collections of what I've read. Going from Animal Farm to Nineteen Eighty-Four brings me into a rabbit hole of government control and dystopian futures. For the most part I'd like good hearted quotes, but alas I am still reading through these books for fun.
This site aspires to be the main dump of me, Jay Andrew Miñon, of anything I would like to share on the Internet / everyone. It will contain pretty much all the media I will feel comfortably to share.
This site aims to be like my main social media channel. In all honestly I am not super negative about sharing your life online, just don't do it on social media(?) The amount of mind hoops we will have to talk about to justify this own website setup for a social media is too much. Maybe I'll make a blog entry about it, or maybe I have already done it.
So there's that, other sections of the page will slowly open up as I work up the courage to share more of my life, and work up yet more courage to work on the website LOL.
Sections of the website are at the top navigation bar. Feel free to stay around. Thank you for visiting the site!.
I have reduced my screen time by a significant amount, and I feel like I am more in tune in what I want and what I do.
Through self-reliance I have evaded the notions of society and basically does what I want. I have removed myself from the concept of shame and herd thinking.
I have rejected the hustle culture and the desire to always be productive. That is simply not what the mind wants.
