      He didn't actually know what "relativity" meant in context but he knew he didn't like the sound of it Some Jewish weirdo like Einstein saying things are *relative* that we all know are *absolute*

      The Nazis pet scientists loved to talk about about "Jew math" and "Jew science" that they contrasted to ordinary Volkisch common sense "A tower of arrogant delusions" based on incomprehensible mathematical constructs divorced from "the world of our eyes and ears"

      Again, to reiterate, that's the Nazis When you talk like that, when you talk about purging the universities of confusing academic nonsense and bringing back the good old fashioned three Rs, you are in fact basically Hitler

      This is something I think is deeply flawed about 1984 That to get the audience on his side quickly and cheaply Orwell associates totalitarian oppression with the unfamiliar, with "progress"

      The very first line says this world is creepy and alien and bad because they've adopted 24-hour time and have no taboo about the number 13 ("It was a bright cold day in April and the clocks were striking thirteen") The pointless shit with the old prole and the metric system

      Tradition is a *positive thing* for authoritarians, something they race to co-opt Familiarity and comfort are their favored sword and shield, they come carrying a Bible and wrapped in the flag Yes, this is true of Uncle Joe Stalin's regime too

      Orwell dismisses that In his mind the bad guys are the bad guys because they will burn all the books and destroy the language and make everything different and strange and kill everything he loves Because it's about his own shit as much as it is an honest appraisal of Stalin

      But isn’t the party doing exactly what you are criticizing? Dictating with complete authority & no allowance for debate or perception, what is truth? And choosing as absolute truth things that are less likely to be true? 2+2=4 way more often than 2+2=5. 1/2

      So the mistake Winston made was in saying “2+2 in most cases is 4, the party is lying to us” as opposed to “2+2 is absolutely always true, the party is lying to us.” It’s a story about totalitarianism, is narcissistic pathology in government. And the solution is objective truth.

      I don't know if Orwell actually believed "the solution is objective truth" but it is worth pointing out that in 1984 the solution is not objective truth because there is no solution

          Yes. The pessimism of the book always left me uneasy. How do we stop the creep of authoritarianism? Maybe prevention? If we concede our own perception to people who lie about everything, we lose control of our fate. Orwell fans may be insufferable but you’re being too hard on him
