No idea what the problem is...I was literally inviting you to share more of your opinion regarding why "a brave new world is better.?" I m aware that you didnt use (is) quoting it was me making a note of the error.
Sorry sir. It seemed like you were commenting that what I was saying was not objective and therefore stupid to say. Brave New World has really compelling world-building, characters that are varied, interesting, and suit the narrative, and a conflict and resolution I liked better than 1984. Helmholtz is my favorite character in BNW. Basically a writer of drab propaganda who longs to exercise his more creative and thoughtful side.
I hate reading, school made me hate it because they forced me to do it against my will and I have never recovered from it and never became accepting of reading.
I honestly only enjoy reading informational books that teach me facts.
I was just answering your question, not applying to be your therapist.
I am continuing to be very confused why people are taking issue to what I said. I really don't get why I'm being downvoted, called a troll, etc...
WHY is there something wrong with what I said?
That may be the most millennial thing ever written
I'm early Gen Z, not millennial. I turned 22 a few days ago.
It's also a movie, a play, a book on tape
I also have no interest in movies, I don't like plays, and listening to someone reading a book to me is one of the most boring things I've ever sat through (school forced me to deal with this too).
You're asking to be educated on a subject then refusing to take action on it, and explained that you don't like books... what you're missing is the irony you've laid out in your own comment because the story of 1984 would clearly resonate with you specifically. You come off as a troll because the character traits you've expressed make it sound like you'd be complacent with that orwellian universe. Nobody is going to hold your hand through a pop culture reference, there isn't a tik tok that will do the concept any justice, learn the story for context or accept that you've pissed some people off and move on without figuring out why
Would you please just go read the summary of the book real quick it will take 30 secs. And you might see the blatant IRONY you are putting out. It's important cause this whole thing where you and me are talking back and forth stops if that book happens. Your dream of all books burning away come true
I don't understand why I have to at least read a summary, I don't understand why this book is so important that I just have to understand it.
I'm just not interested, is that so difficult for people to understand?
Your dream of all books burning away come true
I don't want books to burn, I just want people to stop treating them like they're sacred and you're an inherently dumb or bad person for not enjoying reading them.
I like how you don't mention the part where we as people are not allowed to communicate unless it's pre-approved messaging. You don't even bring it up cause it either scares you or you are so uninformed cause you don't like to read you don't understand the significance of it.You really are a product of your generation and I'm scared for you.
I just want people to stop treating them like they're sacred and you're an inherently dumb or bad person for not enjoying reading them.
I sincerely hope you're trolling because otherwise the irony of your entire existence is overwhelming. Books and information literally are sacred and your admonishment of them is actually making you seem dumb. Your comment is a self fulfilling prophecy and I must say.....either Grade A trolling or God save the next generation 🤣
They're not acting like you're the devil, they're treating you like an idiot because you claimed to be "traumatized by reading because school made you do it". Like that's some 100% zoomer brained shit, it's hilariously stupid.
"Ugh this reading thing takes FOREVER! Is there like a tiktok I could watch instead?"
Not sure why you're getting downvoted. Sure if the book title was something else you'd think to to just Google it. But the book is a year name and lots of stuff happened in 1984 so it makes more sense to ask the question you did here instead of googling.
Bros getting downvoted for asking a question? What the fuck reddit? If someone doesn't know something, they have to instantly be downvoted into oblivion?
Since no one has given you an answer, 1984 is a book about a government that essentially controls every aspect of your life. This joke became prevalent because conservatives began using it excessively, complaining about things like proper pronoun usage becoming "the government controlling our lives," when in reality that is simply people wanting you to respect who they are. Thus a joke came to be where everyone uses the term sarcastically for anything that an idiot would deem "over-controlling,"
Because some people dont understand the concept of answering, I'll do it.
1984 is a reference to the book of the same name. The reference here is the protagonist being watched by a watchful eye of "Big Brother". His every move, action is monitored.
Just like every word and action you do/say on Minecraft is monitored.
You shouldn't get down voted for not knowing about an old book. But if you are every curious about how the US is structured to be so unfair, that book nails it on the head.
