Telling a story works better when it… tells a story
Telling a story works better when it... tells a story. It seems obvious, and it should be but, if we think about it, it's not always the case. This thought came about because I've been watching the show Sense8. A friend recommended it to me, and it's been a ride so far. It's riled up all sorts of emotions in me, I've laughed and worried and ugly-cried multiple times. And I was thinking about how that's to be expected, it's by the same people who brought us the Matrix movie. Oops, movies. […] -

Football, it seemed to me, is not really played for the pleasure of kicking a ball about, but is a species of fighting. The lovers of football are large, boisterous, nobbly boys who are good at knocking down and trampling on slightly smaller boys.

Stop six: The Dog and Duck in Frith Street. There is a rumour that Eric Arthur Blair used to drink here, but if you want to recreate this photo, you need to head upstairs to the restaurant

The various codes which were presented to you at Crossgates — religious, moral, social, and intellectual — contradicted one another of you worked out their implications. The essential conflict was between the tradition of nineteenth-century asceticism and the actually existing luxury and snobbery of the pre-1914 age. On the one side were low-church Bible Christianity, sex puritanism, insistence on hard work, respect for academic distinction, disapproval of self-indulgence: on the other, contempt for “braininess” and worship of games, contempt for foreigners and the working class, an almost neurotic dread of poverty, and, above all, the assumption not only that money and privilege are the things that matter, but that it is better to inherit them than to have to work for them. Broadly, you were bidden to be at once a Christian and a social success, which is impossible.

That was the pattern of school life — a continuous triumph of the strong over the weak. Virtue consisted in winning: it consisted in being bigger, stronger, handsomer, richer, more popular, more elegant, more unscrupulous than other people — in dominating them, bullying them, making them suffer pain, making them look foolish, getting the better of them in every way. Life was hierarchical and whatever happened was right. There were the strong, who deserved to win and always did win, and there were the weak, who deserved to lose and always did lose, everlastingly.

I have only just finished rereading “It Can’t Happen Here” by Sinclair Lewis, and now I find that this waste of human organs seems to be using it as a guide book! Books like this, Orwell’s 1984 and Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 are meant to be prophetic warnings about the evils of tyranny, not used as instruction manuals by bloody tyrants!

The child thinks of growing old as an almost obscene calamity, which for some mysterious reason will never happen to itself. All who have passed the age of thirty five are joyless grotesques, endlessly fussing about things of no importance and staying alive without, so far as the child can see, having anything to live for. Only child life is real life.

Not kidding. I'm 42% listening to George Orwell's 1984 audiobook (by the way, skillfully read by Benjamin May) and all these days I have Eurythmics' Sexcrime in my head. It's a song that has been coming back to my mind during the (many) years. And now I'm watching / listening to the video every day. So beware, now I'm sharing my thirst.
