That reminds me of that TED talk about "a single story" that we have to let those not in power tell their past. Probably off-topic but an interesting addition to the conversation.

It goes back to the old saying, "history is written by the winners". When they start pushing an unfounded revised version of our past, they're trying to steer our future in their direction. If the victor of a conflict makes fools and monsters out of their opponent, then it justifies their own means of how they won. Once they convince us of their truth, then 2+2=5, and you believe anything they tell you.

So you're sayin', who controls the present, controls the future? Speak plainly, Doc - we ain't philosophers!

@@edfederoff2679 Histories are written by the powers in charge at the moment. Barring exhaustive research, future outlooks are derived from those histories.

What arrogance! No single human being controls the future in general. That's so grandiose it sounds more like something Orson Wells would say. You take hold of where *_your_* life is going. You control only what you say, do, & think, not what everyone else does. It's not humanly possible for you to control the course of the entire human race. That's absurd. We aren't gods. We are only mortal human beings living on a tiny blue planet that, compared to the Milky Way, is nothing more than a speck of dust. You could say we are even tinier specks inhabiting a tiny speck in space IMO it's much closer to the truth to say those who truly understand history have a much stronger grasp of *_their_* future. To understand the past is to know where your life is going & avoid the oft repeated mistakes of others throughout the ages ;o)

In 1986, the planet's highest frequency over the air television channel was being erected on channel 63. I happen to live very close to this new television station. I started watching from the very first test signals. For the effective signal range tests and to set up repeaters, the station played the complete, Twilight Zone series constantly for four months. I had just been in a horrific accident and awoke from a two week coma. That was when I started finding the very first short test signals. Later, the constant playing of The Twilight Zone series started. I watched it as much as I possibly could. My hospital room was private so I could watch television any time. All I did for four months, day and night was watch The Twilight Zone and eat every few days. I did not bother to sleep for days and never checked the time, turned on the lights, nor opened the shades to the window. I barely slept because of all the pain I was in so I just watched The Twilight Zone and nothing else. The television station did not even have commercial advertising, nor any sort of break in the playing of the series for months. Between constantly watching The Twilight Zone series constantly, no visitors, and constant sharp pain for months, I think it changed me.

The right wants creationism taught as science, they have this idea that if logic and the truth chalenged people's "long held beliefs", that they should not be taught (Texas ban on critical reasoning teaching). Often, too, what the right wants on college campuses if for kids and teachers to be able to be like Donald Trump, spew out hate and lies and face no consequences for it. The irony is universities protect right wing quacks, Scott Atlas who promoted all kinds of idiotic ideas about covid, that it wan't a threat, that herd immunity would come up without killing many people, is on the Stanford faculty. Mahmet Oz, who is on the faculty of columbia-presbytyrian medical center, who claimed covid was not fatal, that it didn't kill more than the flu, that hydroxychloroquinone cured covid, and they both still have jobs. There are right wing faculty on university staffs who promote white supremacy (arguing white people are smarter than non whites; I guess he never saw a Trump rally), the funny part is there are plenty of right wing types happily promoting their ideas, even if many of them have been proven false.

"He was part of the greatest generation." You know that if you say generation it does, in fact, include everyone alive at that time. This does also apply to the Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Soviet Russia etc. I can not begin to describe why your statement is so so wrong. WWII, Cold war, Atomic missile tests, Holocaust, Holodomor, Nanjing Massacre, Rape during the occupation of Japan, Korean War and the No Gun Ri Massacre …. If you claim that they were Heroes because they died for there cause, keep in mind so did their enemy!

@D.K You are completely right! I am not trying to shame or ridicule an entire generation. We are still the same species, yet were fortunate enough to not need to fight in a war. But saying people nowadays are worse then the men and women back is insulting and stupid.

@D.K True that, bro. But fortnight is for idiots, right!? :)

The War had a great influence on numerous novelists, screenwriters, TV writers and filmmakers of that era. Most definitely. Whether they participated in it directly or not.

@@Dakers11 And decry anyone's account otherwise as "Fake News!"

I had that quote posted in my office for many years.

@@Dakers11 Tulsi Gabbard in the DNC not condemning moderate Syrian President became ousted as a Russian agent. A woman who served our country and was defamed by Clinton’s disgusting comments. The truth became a menace to the DNC who clearly had intentions to support “moderate rebels” (terrorists) with arms to fight and dethrone a government. They cried at DT because he dropped Syria because there is a clear intention to deliberately delay our conflict with that country. Yes Truth is an enemy. Please look her up she was bullied in the DNC because of not condemning a lack of evidence of a leader murdering his people with chemical weapons. We have no place there. Why do these imbeciles want American intervention? Simple endless wars oils a machine. Especially one who has benefited empathy over truth convincing us that they are indeed moral when Al Gore, John Kerry and even Joe had profited off of empathy and people still believe in them. Truth IS their enemy. From across the aisle both sides should expose the ridiculous veil of our leaders being deity’s and monsters. We the people should seek out and condemn the government. It’s vital that we make sure they play their cards with our interests not for their pockets. After all scummy things like making army members run across pit infested smoke perimeters in Afghan to cause cancer and therefore limiting their benefits is a highly immoral prospect of our vets.

Thank You for that gold nugget of truth. In similar fashion, you can honestly describe the backroom negotiations btw the two American political parties as a synthesis that amounts to Fascism. Carlin, like Serling, was another eye-opener... Ever since I was a 70s kid & an 80s teenager I never believed the gov't held my welfare at heart. Still, I could not have imagined just what a draconian beast the American gov't has become, until I saw the YT video "You Have Owners," from Carlin's _Life Is Worth Losing_ production

@@magnificentmuttley154 A masterpiece by the late George Carlin. And I believe most in the audience (I was not there) probably did not expect that from him-such harsh honesty. He did one on germs too. No one can begin to touch his blatant honesty. He was much more than a comedian for sure.

Thats not really fair. Its easy taking pot shots. Spielberg has genius and sublime moments in all his films.

@@YBABTUThanks for the correction note. By the way, I did mean to say "candle".

Mine too but l think rather than 1984, Brave New World is a better example of today, where citizens are controlled more and more by comfort, pleasure and diversions, where the family is abolished, materialism is promoted, people are segregated into units to support the state and there is no morality.

Nathaniel Alexander Kristensen My favorite books are a tie between 1984 and Atlas Shrugged.

Atlas Shrugged is way Over Rated. Doesn't really make as much sense as it seems to.

Nathaniel Alexander Kristensen Yes. Thank you.

This always was, and remains, my favorite episode.

From the moment I first read 1984 it was apparent that we where heading for dangerous times, those times are here and what he foretold are happening on our streets and in our lives, we are now returning to a dictatorship and we are all under the Jack-Boot . We have let those in power remove our freedom while we sat down and played on our dumb phones while they laughed in our faces . We have let ourselves become slaves and they did not have to lift a finger, all smoke and mirrors and he we are.......

It already has. With the libertarianism and neoliberalism ideologies prevalent in the United States, we have learned to undervalue people in exchange for our own material gains.

Remember logic and truth are the enemies of their ideology as is anyone who disagrees with them (sounds eerily similar to a certain socialist leaning group of angry people).

@@ghenulo Well, we used to have the most libertarian society in history. That worked out great producing the most free and prosperous society in the history of the world on top of great stability. All it took was time and the problems that sprung up eventually went away.

To quell the strong urge to shriek?

As portrayed in 1984, do people care? Doesn't seem like the majority does, quite saddening. Well, gotta hope for the best, cheers mate.

Yesss indeed. Very intuitive. Very aware. It's shocking

He was too far ahead of his time. Could you imagine if he had live for another 50 years whao.

No, he was a student of history and learned from the mistakes of others. He was in an era just after the McCarthy Red scares and saw the writing on the wall when it could have been stopped. These are really called precautionary tales. 'Think about what you see here, because it might come to pass in the future if you don't take care of the present.'

@Gary Nelson as ridiculous as that may seem, I'll take your opinion at face value. Would you care to elaborate on that? Sterling was WAY ahead of his time. Have you ever watched any of the various episodes that he actually wrote? Seen movies that he wrote the screenplays for? Every project that he was EVER involved with was ahead of his time! Watch some interviews with rod. He was a visionary in the entertainment industry. His influence on various people Is quite obvious and the results because of his influence speaks volumes

@Gary Nelson being someone who is a senior doesn't make you a "man of the world" especially when it comes to evaluating talent and being a former or current Creative writer doesn't hold much more merit nowadays than someone who is well versed in women's studies or Humanities at the local university! Give your head a shake. I'll politely bow out and offer up a truce of an agreement between the two of us to disagree

Don't forget H. G WELLS

I was thinking Orwell, if one is simply thinking about allegorical storyline. But Wells definitely could move an audience with his performance, that’s for sure and he did co-write some pretty amazing screenplays (CK being one).

I'm 22, I watched both the 2002s was the Golden era of cartoons. You don't have to put one thing down to praise another.

@@WannabeWryter The point that hellogoodbye was making was that he is better for having watched the one instead of the other, and in fact, given the quality of the messages in both, I'm inclined to believe him. And, the 2000s were not the "Golden era" of cartoons at all, more like the "iron era" because quality of animation had not improved dramatically over the 80s productions, nor had the quality of the storytelling. It's kind of like comparing the Victorian era of poetry to the Classical era. The Classical era was clearly better in quality, even though it came a century before. We're not "putting one down" in favour of the other, we're just comparing notes.

America is in shambles today. The future looks glum.

@@badduka198 that’s very true. In no way am I a centrist (I don’t think being a centrist improves any of our political division, but only furthers it) but I think the two party system only encourages division in our country. Which creates the idea of “I can’t speak to the other side, the other side is stupid and ignorant”. Even me, being an impressionable young teen has said things like “Oh that was written by a conservative, I don’t care what they have to say” and a lot of us think like that, we see and hear things through a filter rather than actually hearing and seeing people.

It’s funny how any message can be turned around and used against anyone in existence
