Читать книгу World under clowns - Алмаз Браев - Страница 2

Famous director Ridley Scott very accurately remarked after the box office fiasco of his film The Last duel: "I think what it boils down to – what we've got today [are] the audiences who were brought up on these f***ing cell phones. The millennian do not ever want to be taught anything unless you are told it on the cell phone».

Ridley Scott is, of course, a monster of Hollywood directing; well, what do we care about the crisis of American cinema? However, we still have a case. Ignoring and even rejecting any classical, therefore, traditional direction at the same time is already a total crisis of world culture. Where is that audience increasing if the mass show industry loses an audience?

Previously, the classics of literature owned the minds of the planet. Today, clowns are on the mind of the planet. It is not even necessary to compare how much airtime is spent on all kinds of humorous shows today, and humor is in the price. The planet entertains itself as best it can. In addition, the entertainment world is supported by big business and, therefore, by politicians. Politicians worldwide got so carried away by populism that they became clowns. No, they have not yet appeared all in a row as clowns, although in some places, clowns really took power. And this is not the limit of humor possibilities for the future. Literally, all politicians in the world are engaged in HYPE, and they want to look like their own among their own. Diplomatic departments are overflowing with all kinds of talkers, although the language of diplomacy has always been specific and conservative. Now, because of technological capabilities, everything has become possible. And already diplomats hype, the highest politicians hype – do not lag behind. They say they will push the nuclear button if necessary. When was this possible? Baby, this is democracy! Each politician will then refer to his popularity on social networks.

This book considers not only democracy as a stage for presidents – future clowns. If world politicians come to power after social networks to entertain and please again for five minutes, then politics will disappear as an activity. Only the politicians – clowns will remain. The planet has such a prospect because of the dominance of populism. In other respects, democracy has always been distinguished by flirting with voters since the days of Ancient Athens. Today, technology allows politicians to make noise and be publicly rowdy so that they are watched more, for they are watched more and chosen faster.

In addition to the degradation of the profession of politicians, this book will show the degradation of authoritarianism. All monarchies, then the autocracy of the world, have always had and will have a request for stupid executive officials. Moreover, all officials of such regimes have never had leadership qualities; even in the USSR, they were recruited to power not by talents but by inoffensiveness. Empire versus nature? Yes, empires during the decline overflowed with weak officials who made careers for minor services to dictators. All empires inevitably ended because they lacked heroes, but thieves and corrupt officials were always in abundance.

With such a joint degradation, the two main systems of the world have come to this point in time.

Since we started talking about cinema, in 2006, the American film company 20th Century Fox made the comedy Idiocracy.

I also advise you to watch this comedy, for there is a joke in every joke. In 2022, the world will be several years closer to its future. Although in 2006, no real clown had power yet. This is just the beginning.
