"By 2050—earlier, probably—all real knowledge of Oldspeak will have disappeared.
The whole literature of the past will have been destroyed. Chaucer, Shakespeare,
Milton, Byron—they'll exist only in Newspeak versions, not merely changed into
something different, but actually contradictory of what they used to be. Even
the literature of the Party will change. Even the slogans will change. How could
you have a slogan like "freedom is slavery" when the concept of freedom has been
abolished? The whole climate of thought will be different. In fact there will be
no thought, as we understand it now. Orthodoxy means not thinking—not needing to
think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness.[3] ” -orwell 1984
The underlying theory of Newspeak is that if something can't be said, then it can't be thought.-wiki
