Happy Anniversarry of 1985! It happens every year!
I love this - having written my dissertation on these two it’s great to hear another insight
Great lecture!
In my opinion, Colonization resulting in economic benefits was a footnote to the institutional driving force of "religion", and economics have been a mainstay force of control in this theater. Additionally, one can see that technological advancements have been reserved to governments, and the advances lent to the 'working class' is relegated to convinience-keeping the working class in a perpetual consumer state...which denegrates society rather than advancing it, leaving true technological innovations to the desire of the few...which may or may not benefit mankind. So the question now is....does this cultural revolution represent a NEW colonizing effort by reconstructing the demographics and geopolitics of the World, or is this institution being driven by something else, identifiable to the colonization of the past ?
How does one propose to remove "PRIVILEGE"? Privilege is more associated with power than anything.
I've walked past it on the way to the Corrywreckan. If I recall correctly there was only one property beyond Barnhill.
That was utterly warmed my laptop from how hot it got after that long video which was 10 mins of life ill never get back so ty
You weren't likely to do much with that ten minutes, nor any other. Perhaps a good idea for you would be to try and write a complete English sentence that actually had a meaning. Failing that, try the same in your own language.
Thank you so much for sharing! Will be sharing this with my students. Best wishes for both :)
I regularly have a collection of Orwell's essays out for daily reading. The "As I Please" essays are endlessly fascinating and instructive. I am delighted to find this channel, and your society! Thank you!
He was a true genius !
Really interesting and relevant information! 👍 Thank you!
Correction; 70th anniversary of Orwell's passing, not 50th!
That was utterly warmed my heart warming. Thank you
I enjoyed this - thanks to the society for putting it on.
I only found out yesterday that I'm a distant cousin of Jecinthia Buddicom, through the Pinches family of Ticklerton . It's certainly a fantastic story. I'm very much looking forward to receiving my copy of the book.
This is one of several video exchanges arranged by the Orwell Society, which means that the speakers are talking to a closed audience of Society Members and not a wider RUclips audience (for consideration).
