There is nothing like our Ideas, existing in the Bodies themselves.

“Donald Trump is sort of an Orwellian figure, an authoritarian figure who is twisting words in an Orwellian manner, "1984," to exercise power and control people's minds, or is he a 5-year-old who has an ego that needs to be fed, and the universe has to warp around his ego needs so he can feel good about himself, and everybody has to produce photos to make the monarch feel like he's made of gold.” PeopleNeedsFeelsYearsMindMadeUniverseFiguresProduceTrumpExerciseEgoGoldFeel GoodFedsMonarchsWarpPower And ControlOrwellian Author:David Brooks
