And I want to ask him, can you find the answer? For a normal person, the above problem does not seem to be a problem, because they think they have truly felt the world, regardless of whether it is beautiful or not. I admit that we are really feeling everything around us, but is it all true? If we face falsehood, aren't our feelings and our efforts all the boredom and absurdity doomed in the underworld? Under such circumstances, I am willing to amnesia, after a clean blank, then re-fill the brain game, but the stuffed stuff may or must be a new kind of falsehood, so it is difficult for me to get rid of the right The desire for amnesia. The information is so irresponsible, which makes me have doubts about this continuously beautiful world, and such doubts became stronger after watching the movie "Wag a Tail Dog", and I cried because of it.
The film "Wagtail Dog" tells the story of how the US government used information media to cover up or transfer the presidential scandal. Many reports have introduced this film, saying that behind the story of the Clinton scandal, it was a powerful mocking and exposing of the U.S. government. I don’t think so. There are basically two reasons. One is that the irony is obviously not strong enough, because the so-called political despicability is already a well-known thing. In the people’s understanding and imagination, there will be more things like this. Excavating, not to mention that no matter which country or party it is, such a thing cannot be avoided, and it is not worth the fuss at all. Second, it is too superficial to limit the meaning of such a film to this meaningless political level. It is nothing more than another reason to praise the free creation of the environment in the United States. I think many people in China will be surprised by the direct mockery of the president in this film.
I was also surprised by this film, but the reason is obviously not about the reappearance of those dirty political methods, which is meaningless to me. What I am more concerned about is a deep-seated problem provided by the film, that is, the authenticity of the information and the relationship between the information and our living space.
I am not a person who is worried about putting ugliness on the table, but I still have to defend the treatment of television as a medium in the film. We all understand that television is the most influential information tongue in today's society, but it is only a tool, a tool to spread all kinds of information. As a tool, its function is the same as that of newspapers, broadcasts, the Internet, and even people's speech in society. The fallacy of information cannot be distinguished as a tool. Just like a hoe, it's okay to plow the ground, but it's not impossible to kill. When the information is not true, television or any kind of media is powerless. Therefore, it is unfair for us to put the black pot of information error on the TV. In fact, no one will dislike or resist technology, but people's habitual mistrust of information is grafted onto the suspicion of science and technology, which may be merely a referential relationship. But why is there such a relationship of reference? And why did the media get into such an awkward situation?
Although the information is wrong or absurd, the truth will eventually come to light. After all, the mystery of permanent silence is a minority, so when the incident becomes apparent, all those who have believed in the absurd will inevitably feel fooled. And this feeling will be strongly transformed into distrust. As a result, people will first look for the quasi-source of the misinformation, and the media will naturally be brought to the fore and become a scapegoat. Due to the characteristics of television and other media tools, which is determined by their wide range, many people are deceived, so a social suspicion is formed. In this way, although the media will maintain an innocent posture, its characteristics are destined to bear the blame. But in the same way, when the information is never regarded as wrong or the error is always covered up, then people have a sense of dependence on these media, and this sense of dependence occupies the main psychological reason, the reason is only People must get information through the media.
Human growth is a process of increasing information, and this process will continue to death. If a newborn baby or a person with amnesia imagines to live like a normal person, then they cannot reject the information. It can be seen how important information is to everyone, especially those who live in this society. He is absolutely impossible to rely on it. Survive by animal instinct. But information can be divided into right and wrong. Who can guarantee that the information he receives is correct? I am not a skeptic, but I know that too much believing or not questioning is a manifestation of loss of free personality.
The error message in "Wag the Tail Dog" is obvious to all, so I don't need to repeat it here. But is the information that is considered correct really correct? In fact, the relationship between the correctness of information and us does not lie in whether we have the ability to make correct judgments, because in real life human beings are already obeying information. Our words, our actions, including emotions and thoughts, can be said to be the same. This is the process of restructuring information. Imitating information is the basic ability of human beings to live in this society and this world, otherwise the fate of this person must be eliminated, this is beyond doubt. Imitation is certainly not a shameful thing, but it is precisely because of this imitation that makes information sacred, so that mankind also loses some room for imagination, that is, free will, although any free will is also constructed on information.
We call life without free will destiny, and think that destiny is an arrangement of heaven. But through the analysis just now, it can be seen that the cause of fate is the attitude towards information, which is the result of a negative imitation. From "Wag the Tail Dog", we can also see that the formation of information is actually human factors. Those rules, systems and customs are all set by the human brain, and knowledge of nature is also discovered by the human brain. Yes, so the production of information is entirely a human factor. And since destiny is the repetition of information, it does not mean going to heaven in the dark, but an artificial arrangement. It's just that everyone's destiny is constructed unconsciously by many ancient and modern people, so the connection between people benefits from information.
Let’s go back to the movie "Wagtail Dog". No matter whether the Albanian battle and the "old shoes" are real, people still have to vote. This is imitating the information of the predecessors, and the authenticity of these news only affects the enthusiasm of voters. orientation. As the people, judging the authenticity of information is not where their value lies. They are just receiving the information and then making their own value orientation under the influence of the information. Right and wrong are both a process of acceptance, and both respond to their own influence. The media, outside of its broadness, only shortens the process of acceptance.
Everyone is like the producer in the film, in the process of imitating information, he also creates information again, and uses this information to influence the fate of others, and everyone is also receiving the information and interpreting his own fate. I think the exclamation that life is like a play is not unreasonable. The dual identities of director and actor dress up this society, and the script is the information that is always present, the scientific term of destiny.
Life is impermanent and destiny is no longer sacred. Everything seems to be expected and unexpected. The boring imitation continues. Information becomes the master of the world. It manipulates everything to become vulgar and elegant. This is its charm. , And it is also cruel, and I had to laugh bored.
