"In end we shall make thought crime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it" (52).
From my understanding what Syme is proposing is the people being in a complete state of ignorance. Not being able to express you self because they do not have the means to. This idea is so contradictory to what have been taught, it is almost impossible for me to grasp. Syme's job is basically to make people unconscious of their state of being and can not even think of it. A time will come when the people will not be able to think about anything. The citizens will become Big Brother's robot.
Obsolete- no longer in use
Debauchery- unrestrained self-indulgent immoral behavior, or an instance of this
