1. George Orwell
George Orwell (British novelist, writer and critic) wrote books such as Animal Farm(1945) and Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949).

2. Memory holes
A "memory hole" is the deliberate changing of historical or other information that is not convenient for someone. The idea became popular by the George Orwell novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) where the technique is used by the "Ministry of Truth". The idea was present in an earlier novel Animal Farm (1945).
A similar idea in the books is that of "doublethink". One often sees this idea in action in terms of "fact checking" whereby the "facts" checked may or may not exist in reality.

In computing this idea is sometimes called the "bit bucket" where "bits" of information disappear. Amazon does this by erasing (or changing) purchased books from the Kindle when they decide the content is not suitable.

The web site called the "Memory Hole" attempts to preserve information that might otherwise be lost.

3. Truth and facts
Levels of truth Truth 7

The separation of truth from reality was expressed clearly in the remark by Joe Biden in August 2020 who told people in Iowa that "we choose truth over facts". This does not make a lot of sense without a model that shows how one can separate truth and reality and where opinion truth can override reality truth.

[rules vs. use of those rules]

[using rule based logic to show that multiple truths do not exist, subjective truth]

Is logic racist? [Stoics and logic and rules]

4. Believing lies
People do not believe lies because they have to, but because they want to. [willfully ignorant] Malcolm Muggeridge (British broadcaster)

5. Infinite things
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe. Albert Einstein's (Physicist)

Information sign More: Albert Einstein

6. Intelligent
[Movie: Soldier, Sparta]

[Cultural differences of marriage - family traditions, etc.]

[Ivy league schools]

7. Animal Farm
Book: Animal farm Book: Animal farm
A secular story using pigs (or swine) as leaders of a well-meaning group taking those followers into bondage is that of the political satire book Animal Farm by George Orwell (1945). The "birds" appear to fit the role of the "pigs" in charge.
Based on the story of Soviet Socialism, the pigs, who took control after the revolution, are continually changing rules to benefit them at the expense of all the other animals.

All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. George Orwell, Animal Farm.

Discussion question: How might the idea of casting pearls before swine be related to the pigs in Animal Farm?

8. Karl Marx
The anti-religion, anti-Bible and anti-God writings of Karl Marx (1818-1883), the foundation of humanism, socialism and communism, emphasize the "community" or "society" over the "individual".

Pastors sometimes put these ideas into the church by carefully blurring the distinction between freedom in Christ and political and social freedom. Churches that promote socialism or humanism in this way tend to avoid certain parts of the Bible.
Only in community with others has each individual the means of cultivating his gifts in all directions; only in the community, therefore, is personal freedom possible. Karl Marx.

Society does not consist of individuals, but expresses the sum of interrelations, the relations within which these individuals stand. Karl Marx.

It does not matter who else one hates or believes in. It matters if one believes in oneself rather than God and uses deceptions to benefit oneself rather than others. [Mammon]

[hated God, angry with the brother]

Evil is oppression - others and oneself. Deception: You can be great. You can be a leader for Christ. You can influence people. Let me provide you with the next steps.
