"Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be needed will be expressed by exactly one word, with its meaning rigidly defined and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten."George Orwell, 1984.
I'm a teenage boy from the North of England, but with the accent of a smug Prince Charles. Things I like include books, words, psychology, philosophy, coffee, bizarre phenomena, cocoa-based foodstuffs, comedy, angsty over-analysis, and stingrays. The titular debauchery is nonexistent, I rarely do anything more seedy than eating stale kitkats. 2008 'Miss Uruguay' Short-listed.
