Used to think that story was a fiction, that clearly anyone would realize didn’t make sense and could draw the right conclusions. Unfortunately in our modern era it seems some people took its lessons as a playbook. It’s hard to push for equality across the board when some people are clearly just better at certain things. Let people achieve what they can without limit.
I used to think the same about 1984.
The movie did an excellent job of fleshing out the story while remaining true to the tone and content of the original. (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113264/)
It should be part of the core curriculum. I wonder how the contemporary education establishment would react to it.
I had the exact same thought by the end of the article.
