Where & Why
UNDENK is a term from George Orwells ’1984′:
“Undenk means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in ones mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them… to tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies – all this is indespansably necessary. Even in using the word undenk it is necessary to exercise undenk. For by using the word one admits that one is tampering with reality; by a fresh act of undenk one erases this knowledge; and so on indefinately, with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth”.
