text: In the end, the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. […] For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable—what then?
ref: 1949, George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four:
text: I recognize that a lot of things are gray. They are nuanced, and there are tradeoffs. But there are also things which are black and white. Two plus two does equal four. But if you can convince people that two plus two equals five, you can make them believe absurdities.
ref: 2022 August 12, Jan Jekielek, Jeff Minick, “The Erosion of Truth”, in The Epoch Times:
