Renat's Naked Thoughts

Here Renat posts his naked thoughts. Once in a while he is bombarded with a train of thought that if not recorded may be gone forever. It seems kind of idiotic to record the thoughts as they come, in their pure virgin state, but he thinks that in perspective, these records may lead to important understandings of one's inner workings.

What Are You Looking At?

"It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourselfâ??anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your faceâ?¦ was itself a punishable offense. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: facecrimeâ?¦"
~ 1984, Orwell
