The year 1984 in science and technology involved some significant events.
Friedrich Christian Anton "Fritz" Lang (December 5, 1890 – August 2, 1976) was an Austrian-American filmmaker, screenwriter, and occasional film producer and actor. One of the best known émigrés from Germany's school of Expressionism, he was dubbed the "Master of Darkness" by the British Film Institute. His most famous films are the groundbreaking Metropolis (the world's most expensive silent film at the time of its release) and M, made before he moved to the United States, his iconic precursor to the film noir genre.
Lang was born in Vienna as the second son of Anton Lang (1860–1940), an architect and construction company manager, and his wife Pauline "Paula" Lang née Schlesinger (1864–1920). Fritz Lang himself was baptized on 28 December 1890 at the Schottenkirche in Vienna.
Lang's parents were of Moravian[citation needed] descent and practicing Roman Catholics. His mother was born Jewish, but had converted to Catholicism when Fritz was ten. His mother took this conversion seriously and was dedicated to raising Fritz as a Catholic. Lang never had an interest in his Jewish heritage and identified himself as Catholic. Although he was not a particularly devout Catholic, he "regularly used Catholic images and themes [in] his films".
Eric Arthur Blair (25 June 1903 – 21 January 1950), better known by his pen name George Orwell, was an English novelist and journalist. His work is marked by keen intelligence and wit, a profound awareness of social injustice, an intense opposition to totalitarianism, a passion for clarity in language and a belief in democratic socialism.
Considered perhaps the 20th century's best chronicler of English culture, Orwell wrote literary criticism, poetry, fiction and polemical journalism. He is best known for the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) and the allegorical novella Animal Farm (1945), which together have sold more copies than any two books by any other 20th-century author. His book Homage to Catalonia (1938), an account of his experiences in the Spanish Civil War, is widely acclaimed, as are his numerous essays on politics, literature, language and culture. In 2008, The Times ranked him second on a list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945".
Orwell's influence on popular and political culture endures, and several of his neologisms, along with the term Orwellian—a byword for totalitarian or manipulative social practices—have entered the vernacular.
Lynn Margulis (born Lynn Alexander) (March 5, 1938 – November 22, 2011) was an American biologist and University Professor in the Department of Geosciences at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She is best known for her theory on the origin of eukaryotic organelles, and her contributions to the endosymbiotic theory, which is now generally accepted for how certain organelles were formed. She is also associated with the Gaia hypothesis, based on an idea developed by the English environmental scientist James Lovelock.
Lynn Margulis attended the University of Chicago, earned a master's degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1960, and received her Ph.D. in 1963 from UC Berkeley. In 1966, as a young faculty member at Boston University, she wrote a theoretical paper entitled The Origin of Mitosing Eukaryotic Cells. The paper however was "rejected by about fifteen scientific journals," Margulis recalled. It was finally accepted by The Journal of Theoretical Biology and is considered today a landmark in modern endosymbiotic theory. Although it draws heavily on symbiosis ideas first put forward by mid-19th century scientists and by Merezhkovsky (1905) and Ivan Wallin (1920) in the early-20th century, Margulis's endosymbiotic theory formulation is the first to rely on direct microbiological observations (as opposed to paleontological or zoological observations which were previously the norm for new works in evolutionary biology). Weathering constant criticism of her ideas for decades, Margulis is famous for her tenacity in pushing her theory forward, despite the opposition she faced at the time.
Robert Charles Gallo (born March 23, 1937) is an American biomedical researcher. He is best known for his role in the discovery of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the infectious agent responsible for acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), and he has been a major contributor to subsequent HIV research.
Gallo is the director of the Institute of Human Virology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland. He and two longtime scientific collaborators, Robert R. Redfield and William A. Blattner, co-founded the institute in 1996 in a partnership including the State of Maryland and the City of Baltimore. In 2005, Gallo co-founded Profectus BioSciences, Inc., which develops and commercializes technologies to reduce the morbidity and mortality caused by human viral diseases, including HIV.
Gallo was born in Waterbury, Connecticut to a working-class family of Italian immigrants. He earned a BS degree in Biology in 1959 from Providence College and received an MD from Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1963. After completing his medical residency at the University of Chicago, he became a researcher at the National Cancer Institute. Gallo states that his choice of profession was influenced by the early death of his sister from leukemia, a disease to which he initially dedicated much of his research.
The world is yours,
it's your exercise book,
the pages on which you do sums.
The life is yours,
it is a gift to you,
the stages on which you play blues.
The rage is paid,
the rain is here today,
it could maybe give enough for me.
The freedom for
everyone in this world
it's part of you, human being.
'Cause you're also free to write nonsense,
you might be dreaming on and on ... and again!
'Cause you've got to try,
yes, you've got to try to be wrong!
Through your lifetime,
through your lifetime,
you just like elemental stuff
but only if you enjoy the time.
Sure of yourself,
you play in major keys,
you've got to wake up to a dream ...
'Cause you're also free to write nonsense,
you might be dreaming on and on ... and again!
'Cause you've got to try,
yes, you've got to try to be wrong!
'Cause you're also free to write nonsense,
you might be dreaming on and on ...
'Cause you're also free to write nonsense,
you might be dreaming on and on ... and again!
'Cause you've got to try,
Mislead all along from start to end
What creates this riddance of guilt?
A little here, none over there
What more is said?
The door is shut from the inside
But who's inside the door?
New time, wrong place, wrong face
To get over there
Forever spinning in faith
Unload, leave, state the law
Expect the rest
Stumbling down to grovel with the rest of us
Another life lost
Just wanted to be
Not too much
Fall off the top and splash when you fall
Eating the beaten path
Taught the ways of self-destruction

The world only makes sense when you are mad.
Whether you get or do not get what you think you deserve
it will not make you satisfied cuz you need to feel the urge.
Lawyers can be guilty and carers insane but that one rule will always be the same.
The world only makes sense when you are mad.
I don't like your company, so sick of you
Don't wanna be your friend no more, leave me alone
How could I be so stupid to have faith in you?
You're the one to blame for all that has gone wrong
I'm going, gone and I'm finally out
But I'm not feeling lonely
I'm going, gone and I'm finally out
And I am feeling so fine
How could I be so stupid to have faith in you?
You're the one to blame for all that has gone wrong
I should have know that all you said was a big lie
I'd rather do nothing than spend time with you
I'm going, gone and I'm finally out
But I'm not feeling lonely
I'm going, gone and I'm finally out
But I'm not feeling lonely
I'm going, gone and I'm finally out
But I'm not feeling lonely
I'm going, gone and I'm finally out
And I am feeling so fine
I don't like your company, so sick of you
Guilt and doubt foolished you: I was told some nonsense

It's crazy how God makes us babies and then gives us souls
and then we enter into this world and sin it then takes control, and it molds us through ... block races and mama's hands like that ain't can, that ain't can make us bad.
I remember as a young boy chillin in the projects.
So many crazy things I have seen I couldn't even process.
When you see them dope boys. You just bank them blues is cool.
Selling work and skipping school.
Confused like a b...
Something deep inside of you (is captured by the nonsense)
Club hoppin', pistol poppin', bodies droppin', (violence).
Ever noticed nobody ever taught you how to do wrong.
It's just the way that we are prone. We pick up all on our own.
And I know I ain't alone, cause dirty we're all the same same.
Mamma and daddy. Adam and Eve as they're named.
And even though, you and I may not be from the same city.
I guarantee it's a fact: you have this in common with me.
Guilt and doubt foolished you: I was told some nonsense
(I was told some nonsense)

That's what you thought of as a young and doing what they say is tight.
In the schools; kickin' and fight.
In the hood; stealin' bikes.
Then they tell you that it's cool
"Everybody's smokin' weed.
Sleeping 'round like merry-go"
Probably got you growing trees.
Then you get a little older; they say "let's go hit the club"
Now you take a little crack, looking for a stronger drug.
There's somebody coming pregnant. You ain't planned parenthood.
Now you're sitting, thinking should I hit a Planned Parenthood.
Then you dive a little deeper in that culture, in her fist.
"You don't need to read that Bible, cause that God he don't exist."
"Yoy don't need to trust in Jesus, because he was just a man"
"Please don't listen to them christians, they have no clue what they are saying."
Now you say you hate religion, cause you just wanna be free. Say: "Imma do what makes me happy, and whatever pleases me, and whatever pleases me is exactly what Imma do."
I was raptured, I was captured in that state of mind too, but I was:
Guilt and doubt foolished you: I was told some nonsense
(I was told some nonsense)
(I was told some nonsense)
Guilt and doubt foolished you: I was told some nonsense
(I was told some nonsense)
(I was told some nonsense)
But now I love the Father so much, I love Son so much, the Holy Spirit so much.
That I don't wanna turn away, so when the world tries to clutch, when my sin tries to clutch, when my flesh tries to clutch.
Then I must turn away.
I don't wanna break his heart with my lust and my pride.
I don't wanna break his heart, cause I trust in my God.
And I count it all as loss, just so I can know him.
Paid and died for my sin, so I can't live for them.
And I can't live for you.
And I can't live for me.
See I'm hidden in Christ. Like playing hide and go seek.
I was dead in my sin, but God made me alive.
Together with Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2 verse 5.
I'm seated in heavenly places; by his grace I've been saved.
I refuse to dig a ditch, go and lay back in my grave.
I've been captured by his beauty.
I pursue him super hard.
Not no comfort, power, money, pleasure, not a stupid car.
I'm not:
Guilt and doubt foolished you: I was told some nonsense
(I was told some nonsense)
(I was told some nonsense)
Guilt and doubt foolished you: I was told some nonsense
(I was told some nonsense)
(I was told some nonsense)
(Yeah man. I know how it is brow.
We have been captured by sin.
