读过 George Orwell: A Life from Beginning to End 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
好久没读 Hourly History 系列了。从中了解到 George Orwell 只是笔名，在英格兰出生，他爸是英属印度的小官，祖上曾是贵族。不过他就读的伊顿公学里贵族名门很多，有阶级之分，搞得他很讨厌阶级。后来他去缅甸当官，接触到了殖民者对本地人的歧视，搞得他也讨厌帝国主义。于是他摇身一变成社会主义者，甚至亲自跑去英国北方的煤矿小镇和工人一起生活，下煤矿劳动，后来又接触到了西班牙内战，他更是讨厌斯大林的极权，彻底化身为反 totalitarianism 的斗士，写出了震撼世界的 Animal Farm 和 1984，后者更是 Orwell 抱病且透支身体健康创作出来的。

不过最近 Wifedom: Mrs Orwell's Invisible Life 这书揭露了 Orwell 其实严重厌女，是标准的父权制加害者，我目瞪口呆。想不通社会主义和厌女症为什么会能同时存在同一个人身上，我以后要先读 Orwell 其他作品，好好研究。

此外我不再花时间做笔记了，直接交给 NotebookLLM 分析并储存，以后 NotebookLLM 是重要的外部记忆装置。
