Well edited and thoughtful insights. It's been 31 years since I read The Hobbit. Took a bit to talk my English teacher into putting it on the reading list for high school. We probably reread it this winter.
in what ways do you think? For my money, if Rand was right about anything it was "the future's" systematic use of selective language to reframe a narrative. Everyone is so good at this now days it's dizzying.
@@gronskeibooks Exactly, you nailed it. She saw the mind control games from the communist country she came from. We live in a day when you can get fired or cancelled for not using some nut jobs pronoun of the day. Men can put on wigs and be allowed to be girls in competitions and it is allowed to go on. They are allowed to groom and physically destroy children in grade schools across the country. They call pedo's "minor attracted person's". They are actively engaged in lowering the age of consent. Recently, a female teacher got fired from an all girl's school for basically saying "hello girls" because one of the girls claimed to be a boy. Odd, why would a newly defined boy be at an all girl school? If this crap doesn't end soon the country will not survive it, or it is going to get extremely violent at some point.
@@gronskeibooks I would also add she was right on the attack against individualism - today everyone gets a trophy, the promotion of handouts and UBI, hiring people based on race, gender identity, sexual preference, etc. and not skill set because company scores are kept track of. Woke culture is a disaster and a serious cult.
Ideas for next time might include some of the businesses in town. Stan's Drive-In, Watts Theater, and of course Scott's Pumphouse.
