if anything is true, then it’s that whatever the thought-police says is very meaningful. for instance, if the thought-police tells you that there is no thought police, this is very meaningful. if the syndicated police-mob tells you that your life is good, and they all say the same things, then it must be true. how should you know better than them if your life is good? there is a great number of them all saying the same things, and so they must be right. you are told that you live in one of the most free and wealthy countries in the world, and so it must be true. it is your observation that everything is synchronized around your thoughts and psychological experiments are conducted on you every single day year after year, but there is not a single mentioning of such a thing being done in all of history, and those who do these things to you tell you that these things do not occur, and so they must be right. you receive electric shocks all over your body around the clock, but this is just a matter of opinion, and you are the only one that holds this opinion, and so you must be wrong. you are attacked by great mobs every single time you go outside of your house, and they are very critical of everything in your life, and they seem to know everything you do, and what you look like, however, there is food in your fridge (although it’s rotting because the fridge is not working right now), and so your life must be good.
