      Of course I didn't say that, that would require an exerted misreading of what I said. You're good at that. Congrats.

      "That world [of video games] isn't real." You're on the same page that video games aren't real life, I hope?

      Yeah they simulate real life Sometimes accurately, sometimes not, but the idea of a world where if you go straight long enough you end up where you were is accurate

      I won't attack you personally as you're fond of doing, but you make arguments either in bad faith or that lack intellectual rigor which requires reasonable interpretation and understanding of others' words. Also, I wonder if you're aware that you're literalizing Orwell?

      Orwell wrote a whole essay specifically about the fact that it struck him one day that he knew the world was round but only from books, and spent a while trying to think of how he could personally convince himself of this based on his own experience

      It was an interesting piece because it talks about how the world is getting bigger and expertise more specialized and the shibboleths that mark an "educated person" increasingly dependent on faith in institutions I doubt he'd be backing your take (though he could be an asshole)

      (He eventually figures out that he personally has seen ships disappear over the horizon and that the way this happens wouldn't make sense unless the Earth were round But this is a privilege he has because he's always lived near the ocean, he could easily not know that)

      "Knowing" things just because you were taught them is what he finds deeply troubling It's why he did a very "woke" "SJW" critical review of those old Boys' Own Adventure books (that they existed to inculcate an imperialist, xenophobic worldview in British children)

      Like you understand he was a leftist, a radical, somewhere on the anarchist spectrum He despised conservatives (he refused to say the word "Tory" in his writing as opposed to the slur "blimps")

          I remember the feeling of reading one of my childhood favs tearing hard into another one of my favs Orwell's review of CS Lewis' Mere Christianity, which he said was not only intellectually worthless but "sinister"

          This highly educated Oxford don adopting this avuncular, charming, informal tone to reassure the plebs that the world isn't complicated, it's simple That this reactionary theistic worldview the Church has shoved down our throats for centuries is common sense, it stands to reason
