And this is not altogether fanciful. A speaker who uses that kind of phraseology has gone some distance toward turning himself into a machine. The appropriate noises are coming out of his larynx, but his brain is not involved as it would be if he were choosing his words for himself. If the speech he is making is one that he is accustomed to make over and over again, he may be almost unconscious of what he is saying, as one is when one utters the responses in church. And this reduced state of consciousness, if not indispensable, is at any rate favorable to political conformity.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "George Orwell" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/george-orwell/when-one-watches-some-tired-hack-on-the-platform-mechanically-2/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c13/george-orwell-57_cybersecurity_when-one-watches-some-tired-hack-on-the_2975986.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c13/george-orwell-57_cybersecurity_when-one-watches-some-tired-hack-on-the_2975986.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c13/george-orwell-57_cybersecurity_when-one-watches-some-tired-hack-on-the_2975986.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“When one watches some tired hack on the platform mechanically repeating the familiar phrases -- bestial…” — George Orwell", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/free-people/george-orwell/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/free-people/george-orwell/", "name": "Free people Quotes by George Orwell", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/free-people/george-orwell/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/78a/george-orwell-57_free-people_the-result-of-preaching-totalitarian-doc_615846.jpg" }, "description": "3 Free people quotes by George Orwell.
