56 Are We Living in George Orwell’s 1984? (Part 4)

Our final episode addressing the question, Are we living in George Orwell's 1984?

You can listen to the whole novel on our Simple Gifts Podcast.

The preceding two episodes and this one were drafted as a unit. They should be digested together, as they form a single narrative.

This week we continue our analysis of doublethink. As Jenny and I walk our neighborhood each week, we see sign after sign proclaiming "Science is Real." This is meant as a provocation, as a supercilious critique, but properly understood it is DOUBLETHINK, as Wokism requires the denial of science while at the same time criticizing its opponents as "science deniers." This fundamental ability to hold and assert contradictory conceptions AS MEANS TO AN END is really nothing more than the will to lie, to deny what we know to be true, and to deny it so vehemently that we believe we are not denying it. It is the rational capacity to choose irrationality in order to achieve a desired end.

These episodes are introducing an episode (or series of episodes) of the Christian Atheist entitled, "The Evident, Evidence, and Faith," debuting next week. It is useful to illustrate the vision opposing the structures of Western liberal society that I am trying to explicate. This self-loathing opposition to the West is what I have been attempting to explain here at the Christian Atheist for our entire existence, which I have been trying to understand all my life. It is no mistake that the Hegelians, Marxists, neo-Marxists, Critical theorists, Postmoderns and Wokists hate this Western reality BECAUSE IT STANDS IN THE WAY OF THEIR ENDS.

George Orwell's dystopian novel, 1984, is, I think, the best example in literature of the logical outplaying of the post-Hegelian logic in practical politics. It is disheartening to compare today's Woke culture (and its ideological history/development) to Orwell's Oceania. Join us, and let me know what you think of the parallels.
