This guy trying to pretend like he is some great thinker of the time and comes out with an experiment that is supposed to be genius and bold and exciting, but really its stupid or useless but because of his perceived stature everybody pretends to understand the experiment. Or maybe that was the experiment? He is just trying to see how many people embrace a stupid idea if a person of stature endorses it... |
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
- George Orwell, ‘1984’
