Book Review #1. 「老大哥」的終極監控時代：《1984》｜Big Brother is Watching You!

Have you ever watched "The Hunger Games" movie franchise? Or have you read any dystopian fiction? 1984 by George Orwell is one of the most classic dystopian fiction of all time.

In this episode, we're gonna dive into the world of 1984 and see what's so fascinating yet horrifying about this dystopian social science fiction.

Mentioned Quotes:

"To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which canceled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself—that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word—doublethink—involved the use of doublethink."

"If one is to rule and to continue ruling, one must be able to dislocate the sense of reality. For the secret of rulership is to combine a belief in one's own infallibility with the power to learn from past mistakes."

"Those who control the present, control the past, and those who control the past, control the future."

S2EP10. 就算不完美，也真的沒關係。｜It's Okay to Not Be Okay.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains content about depression, suicide behavior, and mental illness. If it is triggering or upsetting to you, please click off this episode.

In this episode, I want to spend some time discussing the common misconceptions about mental illness, my personal experience, and what you can do if someone around you is struggling with depression.

I can only speak from my experience, and I didn't go into details because I know everyone is fighting their own battle and because this is something that I'm still dealing with. But I hope by sharing a little bit of my story, I can help open the conversation and let some of you know that you're not in this alone. You are not weak or weird; you are not wrong or worthless. It's okay to not be okay. —Elise
