A public record against doublethink.

Orwellian Thoughts tracks what prominent figures promise and what they actually do, side by side and over time. Each entry starts when a promise or claim is made, then gathers dated updates as it is kept, broken, watered down, or reversed, every step backed by a source you can open and check yourself.

Why it exists

"Doublethink" is holding two contradictory positions as if both were true. Memories are short and clips get buried; this record keeps the original statement next to its outcome so the contradiction is impossible to quietly walk back. The aim is not opinion, it is a durable, sourced timeline anyone can audit.

How an entry works

An entry is a single promise or claim. Its updates form a mini-timeline; the earliest update is when it was made and the most recent update sets the entry's current status:

The reliability score

Think of it like a score out of 100 for keeping your word. It answers one simple question: out of the promises we already know the answer to, how many did they actually keep?

Each finished promise is worth some points:

Add up the points they earned, divide by the number of finished promises, and turn it into a percent. That's the score.

The score only counts promises we already know the answer to. If nothing has resolved yet, there is no score to show, we mark it not enough data rather than guess.

The consistency score

Reliability asks whether they did what they said. Consistency asks a different question: do they keep a coherent account of what they said? It tracks factual claims about their own record or position, and how each one held up.

Each resolved claim earns points on a sliding scale:

Same math as reliability: add the points, divide by the resolved claims, show it as a percent. Acknowledging a reversal barely costs anything; quietly rewriting the record, or flatly denying it, is what pulls the score down.

Doublethink flags

A doublethink flag is not a score, it is a count. It marks a specific contradiction: the same conduct judged one way for a rival and the opposite for an ally. Flags no longer subtract from any score; they stand on their own as hand reviewed records, each with the sources behind it.

Sourced and reviewed

Every update carries its own proof, articles, video, and transcripts, and entries are submitted by contributors and reviewed before they publish. Status reflects a verified outcome, never an editorial opinion.

A flag is its own reviewed record, not a broken promise. It needs two sourced cases, the same conduct judged opposite ways, and the subject's own distinction. It publishes only if the standard is met.
