Orwellian visionary.

 

The secret to 1984 is '4'

 

1984 is in part an expose on the four basic types of people in a society, the four types of institutions and the four types of institutional lies that enable them.

 

Characterized by how they respond to information, modern societies are made up of four archetypes of people:

 

idiots

 

zealots

 

elitists

 

patriots

 

Idiots refuse information, zealots blindly refute information, elitists misuse information, and patriots seek and distribute information.

 

Despite dramatic alterations in the world's geopolitical landscape, and some fluctuation of individuals from one group/role to another over time, the dynamic between these groups has historically remained the same, and are inevitably intertwined:

 

Idiots avoid all new pertinent information in order to maintain their perspective, never questioning the status quo.

 

 

Zealots ask certain questions of certain information, ignoring unaligned information in order to maintain their perspective, supporting the status quo at all costs.

 

 

Elitists question information in order to manipulate and reap gains off those who don't know, benefiting from the status quo.

 

 

Patriots question information to educate themselves and share it with others, in order that we might enhance our lives and progress beyond the status quo.

 

It is no wonder, then, that the patriot has been all but deleted from today's socio-political landscape, with those acting as true patriots being demonized by the State, and the meaning of the word "patriot" distorted and confused (by the likes of George W. Bush Jr.) to mean an unquestioning, flag-waving, with-us-or-against-us brand of nationalistic idiocy.

 

Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful

and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity

to pure wind.
