In 1984, George Orwell wrote, “the two aims of the Party are to conquer the whole surface of the earth and to extinguish once and for all the possibility of independent thought.” In the novel, the authoritarian party is interested in having absolute power over the thoughts of others. Why do they wanna control your thoughts? And how do they do that? That’s what I’m interested in exploring, and as always, I’m gonna explore this idea through a dialogue. OUR COURSES _ Coming soon.
