I have some feelings. Recently, many people are scolding Zelenskyy. Just like they scolded Trump, the actor of “The Apprentice” in 2016, the actor has gone wrong.
But thinking about it on the other hand, who are the people in the first three rows of the podium who are not actors? . .
King Zhou of Shang made meat patties for King Wen of Zhou on the spot, King You played the feudal lords with beacon fires, and then Zhao Gao referred to deer as horses. Isn’t this more exciting than novels?
Liu Bang, the great ancestor, was originally a poor bastard, and he just set up a background board for himself. “Tai Gong looks at it and sees a dragon on it. He already has a body, so he gave birth to the great ancestor.” He was a KTV restaurant in Pei County. Goods, one time, before receiving the invitation from Pei County, he sneaked into the reception of “Lv Gong” and deceived Lu Zhi, who was 20 years younger than him, with sweet words. . . This acting is fucking goddamn. . .
There are too many examples in the back, so I won’t list them all. I remember who the King of England said. It probably means that before the invention of newspapers and cameras, we had to conquer the world on horseback, but now we have to conquer the world in front of the camera. Therefore, the paper image of the royal family in the newspaper reports should exceed the military exploits.
In the short stories in the ” Pamphlets, Newspapers, Radio and Television ” series that I saw earlier, Sister Hat also analyzed that different media will lead to different political organization forms. Quite interesting, recommended reading.
When I was playing rimworld before, there was a trait that made me feel very strange, story-teller, storytelling, what kind of ability is grinning? It is increasingly felt that storytelling is an extremely important skill .
In the thoughts of Yuval Noah Harari, the author of “A Brief History of Today”, there is a very fundamental understanding
What is the foundation of human civilization? His answer: The fictional ability of our species, in short, the ability to tell stories. Religion is a story, a nation is a story, a business is a story, a company is a story, and everything about human civilization is a story at the bottom.
Sometimes you think about it in reverse, 1/3 of all the energy consumption of the human body is wasted on the “brain” organ, which does nothing else and just makes up stories all day long. This organ is not only conscious, but also has self-consciousness. The most amazing thing is that it can simulate the consciousness of others and predict the predictions of others. This is the biggest difference between humans and animals
The human occupations that interpret the stories were originally fortune-tellers and wizards, often the most noble class of a tribe, and they invented the words that can solidify the story out of the need for occupational inheritance. The key to the rise and fall of a tribe is the story-teller’s vision, that is, the imagination of the person who made the story. A good commercial BP, to put it bluntly, tells a simple story of “brothers, let’s make this vote and become a hot and spicy clubhouse tender model”.
Of course, after so much talking, is there any harm in this thing? Of course there is. Sister Hat discussed ” Why is there rarely a phenomenon in which religious power is greater than kingship in ancient China?

The ceiling of Western political and religious movies “Kingdom of Heaven” has an extremely spicy description of the struggle between religious power and imperial power. For example, when the Cypriot knights and the Templars quarreled in the temple, whenever the Cypriot knights judged based on the fact that the enemy is stronger and we are weaker When they refused to go to war against Muslims, the Templars refuted them on the basis of value judgments, such as claiming that the Christian army, armed with Catholic ideology, was invincible, for example, claiming that the refusal of the Cypriot knights to go to war was blasphemous.
The same thing happened on the Muslim side. The clergy on the Muslim side repeatedly claimed that the Muslims could not defeat the Crusades in the past because of their deep sin and dishonesty in the Lord. The outcome of the war depends on the protection of God. Value judgment, and Saladin, the representative of the secular imperial power, refuted it based on factual judgment. You can’t beat the Crusaders because you are not prepared for war. The outcome of the war also depends on food, weapons, drinking water and troops.
This is to make up a metaphysical story and wrap myself in it. The metaphysics here is ideology. For example, if you believe in the Promised Land of Democracy and Freedom, then it means that America is invincible. Of course, you can also make up a statement, called insisting on touching the special stone. 2333
Dealing with real-world problems must not be “implemented” with a story. In fact, regarding the Russia-Ukraine issue, in 2015 there was John Mearsheimer’s divine prediction that you can see. Putting aside all ideologies and understanding from “real politics”, his method is similar to the recent FT interview with Kissinger :
We have to be conscious of the differences of ideology and of interpretation that exists. We should use this consciousness to apply it in our own analysis of the importance of issues as they arise, rather than make it the principal issue of confrontation, unless we are prepared to make regime change the principal goal of our policy. I think given the evolution of technology, and the enormous destructiveness of weapons that now exist, (seeking regime change) may be imposed on us by the hostility of others, but we should avoid generating it with our own attitudes.
We must recognize the existence of ideologies, and differences in interpretation. We should use this awareness as an application to our own analysis of a major problem as it arises, rather than making it the subject of confrontation. Unless we are prepared to make regime subversion the primary goal of our policy. I think, given the development of technology, and the enormous destructive power of existing weapons, (regime subversion) may be imposed on us maliciously by others, but we should avoid creating it with our own attitude. .
The grand narrative is a tool used to confuse the enemy and lead the team. Never take narrative confusion as the basis and principle, and don’t look for reasons from the narrative.
In today’s highly developed Internet communication, everyone is an actor.
