  4. #RayBradbury Reveals the True Meaning of #Fahrenheit451: It’s Not About #Censorship, But People “Being Turned Into Morons by #TV

    ' 'Fahrenheit 451 is not, he says firmly, a story about government censorship,' wrote the Los Angeles Weekly’s Amy E. Boyle Johnson in 2007. 'Nor was it a response to Senator #Joseph McCarthy, whose investigations had already instilled fear and stifled the creativity of thousands.' Rather, he meant his 1953 novel as 'a story about how television destroys interest in reading literature.' "

  5. Just remembered that #RayBradbury's #Fahrenheit451 predicted (something like) Bluetooth earbuds about 50 years before they became a thing.

    I remember reading that part of the book in the early 90s and being rather puzzled about it. 😄

  6. @DNB_Aktuelles
    Bin versucht zu sagen:
    Im heutigen Deutschland werden keine Bücher verbrannt.
    Im heutigen Deutschland werden "schlicht" Finanzposten für Bildungsmaterial und Bibliotheken gestrichen.
    Autoritäre Politik ist beides.

  7. #Anthropic appear to be edging towards an #ethical approach. But just as they are blacklisted for condemning the use of products for domestic #surveillance and full #autonomous #killing machines, #Musk and #Altman step in to the rescue!

    #Hesgeth would like nothing more than #ICE to be 'armed' with the mechanical hounds from #Bradbury's #Fahrenheit451. Domestic #murder is obviously his forte.

  8. "Der große Bruder" ist der Herrscher in der Welt von #1984 von #georgeorwell , in der Bücher verboten sind und von der Feuerwehr verbrannt werden, oder vermische ich da etwas mit #fahrenheit451 ?

    In ganz #muenchen hängen jetzt seine Visagen und sollen für den zukünftigen #Palantier- Herren der Stadt werben, der #Oktoberfest und die alte #korruption um #Wiesenwirte und #Konzerne, um #Geschäftemacher der oberen #Firmen und der #Spekulation sichern soll: Wahlen am 8.

  10. The road to #Fascism is paved by people telling you to stop overreacting (that's not a Bradbury quote but a fundamental Truth of our time). Many of us called out every step of the path, so many more just lazily sniffed that they "don't pay attention to politics" #Fahrenheit451 #RayBradbury #America

  11. every day it feels like we move closer and closer to the #world of #Fahrenheit451. what fuckin #dystopian hellscape world are we living in???

    "One hundred and eighty-one public libraries in Tennessee are reviewing their children’s collections after Tennessee Secretary of State #TreHargett (R) ordered them to remove books with #LGBTQ themes or characters. Hargett suggested that libraries that made such books available to children were violating federal and state law. Some libraries have closed for days so staff could focus on weeding out prohibited volumes."

  13. @o7___o7 @Ardubal the book ban in #Fahrenheit451 was apparently the result of democracy too:-

    "But the public, knowing what it wanted, spinning happily, let the comic-books survive. And the three-dimensional sex-magazines, of course. There you have it, Montag. It didn’t come from the Government down."

  14. Currently reading: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. I haven’t picked this up since grade school, but it’s eerie how well Bradbury predicted the future that we are currently living in. #Fahrenheit451 #RayBradbury #books #bookstodon #ReadBannedBooks #currentlyreading

  15. Did you know? The melting point of data is also #Fahrenheit451. 🔥 Fight censorship in all forms this #BannedBooksWeek, and help ensure public access to public data remains a public good.

  16. 'And when finally they set the structure to burn the books, using the firemen, I grunted a few times and subsided, for there were no others grunting or yelling with me, by then. Now, it's too late.'

    Some days, I could just jump off a cliff.

    This reality is fast becoming an amalgamate of all the negative #utopias I read years ago:

    #1984,
    #Fahrenheit451,
    #TheMatrix,
    #SecondVariety,
    #Wargames, #TheCompleteRobot, #Terminator including its #Skynet,
    #Robocop,
    #DoAndroidsDreamOfElectricSheep? (#Bladerunner),
    and
    #TheHandMaidsTale.
    Hopefully, we are not also heading for #TheMinorityReport already (#AGI?)

    These are only the ones out of the top of my head.

    "... #PKD's #SecondVariety, and not even #TheMatrix, but just as #surveillance technology has surpassed what was possible in #Orwell's #1984, in particular in the #PRC, we are moving beyond #Fahrenheit451, too.

    👉The biggest trouble is that the ancient #Viking #Norns seem to be weaving all those #dystopian fates of humanity into one.👈

    »Wspomnienie Tomka Pacyńskiego – Andrzej Pilipiuk«

    Nasze ostatnie spotkanie było kompletnie idiotyczne: wpadliśmy na siebie w drzwiach Pałacu Kultury i Nauki w Warszawie. Trwały Targi Książki. Ja wchodziłem i zaraz miałem mieć spotkanie autorskie, on akurat wychodził. Dwaj ludzie w biegu...
