it's very interesting to see that which george orwell was wiping out decades ago has in effect now materialized. it speaks a certain language of authority and speaks a certain language of demonization of certain groups or racialized a certain approach to discrimination that is a name. growing up since nine eleven this generation starts from a completely different perspective than other generations would have had one where it starts from a point of view of fear of a certain vulnerability of having to prove itself almost being paranoid all the time this very sense of uncertainty but also of a certain vulnerability. to find out how this might affect young people psychologically i've come to meet laverne introduce a psychologist who deals with marginalized jumpy. threat is the number was password really you know we're told it's everywhere we're told we're supposed to be highly suspicious of everybody and everything and i think it has a real impact on one sense of self as we know children are incredibly receptive and perceptive you know if a think that their teacher or staff are or even mental healt

states has sovereignty and no one else has solved it and this is kind of the liberal version of george orwell's animal farm in which all states are equal but some states are more equal than others but i would just point out this is not a new thing though like the whole after the cold war this is essentially how europe was set up the whole idea that we should have a common european home but rather have europe led by the e.u. and nato alliance i did the liberal democracy it should run it they should not be constrained by others like multilateralism needs limits and this very much reads like the proposal in the two thousand and four concert of the marquesas essentially similar logic which should. be nice for she loved it but this was pretty important to put aside the international institutions like the culture of the marxist should not be constrained by the rest of the world we should have our own rules we should . not even talking. concert of democracies because the e.u. needs to go to right when it doesn't serve us interests he not only took specific shots at it but he also defended the idea of

i've always thought, tucker, that george orwell's "1984" is the most popular dystopian novel. you get the masses hooked on sensual pleasures and thereby keep them quiet, keep them calm, keep them compliant with all the things you're trying to do these are public sector pensions here, which are in the illinois state constitution, that you can't do anything to reduce them. that's been in the constitution of illinois since 1970. shouldn't be in the constitution at all. it's not the proper province of constitutions to protect the public pensions of state workers. so we have a situation where they'll be somebody living at 27 elm street who retires as a public school teacher in her 50s and at 29 elm street, a hardware store proprietor working to his 80s until he dies to support the pension of the lady next door. there's not enough of those people. now we have a more aggressive tax where they're going to use pot and gambling and the weaknesses of the poor to fund the permanent bureaucracy. this in a city that as you pointed out already has corruption and crime and murder and death of

. >> it's almost george orwell who wrote the book 1984. sears is last store standing on the canadian border outside buffalo. lampert and the board were so myopic they closed the stores near the canadian border. and canadians pay huge taxes on everything from clothing to cleaning products to tools. so they shopped all those sears border stores. and sears even by the self, the customers don't trust a lampert led retail company. citi has the co-branded sears branded mastercard. but even this week the sears merchandise isn't selling in sears store number 1984. what does that say about lampert, a man with no plan as you said so well. does sears survive? do we see tonight some form in the future? >> sears should and could survive without lampert. but with lampert at the helm it will break up in the whirlpool below. they let so many retailers, amp, path-mart, sears. got you all be the bankruptcy lawyers take hundreds of millions of dollars. not the right people, not the right skills. don't take correct yiched action. the same thing in my professi

surveillance many of the pieces of favorite authors some of them i'm sure are familiar to you like george orwell and mark twain and others may not be a couple of the articles about the experience in india and in 1984 about spending a day on the campaign trail with nelson mandela when he was running for president in the first free election several of these are more recently going back to africa to see what that part of the world looks like from more than 100 years ago. so some of the other things in the book i will and on a positive note by reading at a very short piece it is appropriate to read and that is the appropriate thing to read here with the wonderful temple of books. so let me just read you a piece. for the first time some american school and college students have been issued electronic books instead of textbooks. and to be published and in this society that relatively few people read books for pleasure to begin with and then to encounter books with the books as students there are many reasons to love the old-fashioned paperwork with that crackle of the new hardcover for the first time

world,"ry, "brave new "1984," george orwell. it was nice a grade, we read them all. [laughter] sorry. if there is anything that is going to happen? i think congress is going to insert itself. the fact that lindsey graham is going to have any say over this is disturbing. it is bad. [laughter] i spent a few years in washington visiting them. there are a few senators, senator warner, senator byrd, senator bennett, a couple are pretty intelligent. senator wyden, i am trying to think, who else, you know them better than i do -- congressman, anybody? sam: look, i think we going to get this result, but i think we have actually lost sight of what is really important. i think we are living on an exponential curve of technology, and the rate of change has been increasing every year, every decade. it will keep increasing. what we are in right now, which feels like the most important important technical issue will ever face, will turn out to be nothing but a warm-up for what we will be dealing with in the next couple of years. this, which seems like this absolute meltdown, there

it sounds like a page out of george orwell's novel "1984" where it says, all these eyes watching you, asleep or awake, indoors or out of doors, in the bath or bed, there's no escape. we read 1984 year ago, mr. speaker. and we all thought that would never happen but the government's ability to seize information based upon -- based upon information that is less reliable than the fourth amendment requires and it does so in secret, i think is a violation of our right. it's hard to believe this is happening but we need to wake up and remember this. remember, mr. speaker, the bill of rights was intended to protect us from government. people have rights. government has power. government has no rights. it has power that they take or we give toyota them. but it's the individuals in this country that have rights, including the right of privacy. to be secure in our persons and places and our homes from unlawful searches and seizures. so i think government has gotten out of the box and because of this foreign intelligence surveillance act. foreign intelligence surveillance act allows secret court

under 200 years after that george orwell when i say any sentence an imperfect word nationalism for this phenomenon he wanted to describe a habit of assuming whole box of people can confidently be labeled good and bad in the habit of placing one group in recognizing no other duty demanded dancing adventurous, this habit of what he called nationalism but was really describing tribalism in the essay was marked by certain things like obsession. any criticism worse were against her group provoke a vigorous and sometimes violent and forceful response. an indifference to reality in what might be outrageous acts by others are forgiven within your group are not even can better to be outrageous when committed by our side. identity politics is generated a crisis of attachment that seems to be at a point where we will see it continue at a pace that this theory is right, which is the more our fundamental tribes of family household community breakdown in our unrestrained and shift came the desire to join more abstract tribes as all the more powerful. we can talk about that a little more the question-

surfacing the emotional properties of it before 1948 we didn't have a way to talk about it and george orwell gives an incredibly useful narrative for talking about the emotional impact of living under the conditions of mass surveillance and now we have this word orwellian and then we will find all the bad people and you can explain why that's creepy without the distractions you can talk about this concrete thing and at worst the science fiction writers think they are doing this future casting where they've looked at the variables and they've had these timelines of the future and like any fortuneteller the predictions were so metaphorical you could interpret them any way you wanted but when he talks about what the fortunetellers would have happened to them, he turned their heads around 180 degrees and then he put them in both pcs and have them wade through while being flogged relentlessly by demons and i think he kind of gave them an easy break because the message of the fortuneteller is that the future is coming no matter what you do and that is the counsel of despair if the future is coming
