We're living in George Orwell's, in which there are certain cults and certain ideologies which rule the world and which cannot be questioned, and very, very, very, very serious, very, very seriously scary times we're living in when certain cult axioms cannot even be questioned.
Ever feel like we're living in a dystopian novel? In this episode of 'The World According to Ben Stein', Ben Stein and co-host Judah Friedman take a hard look at George Orwell's '1984' and draw unsettling parallels to today's United States. With the recent announcement of the Biden Administration's Disinformation Board, dubbed the 'Ministry of Truth', they argue that Orwell's vision is eerily close to our current reality.
Ben shares a personal anecdote about a life-saving event, adding a human touch to the discussion. The episode dives into the importance of questioning prevailing ideologies and the dangers of losing constitutional freedoms. Social media's role in shaping free speech, the moral debates surrounding critical race theory, and the recent uproar in Loudoun County schools are also on the table. Ben and Judah stress the need to stand up for our rights and challenge the status quo.
This isn't just another political chat; it's a raw, eye-opening conversation that will make you question the world around you.
