Last 103: Spread chaos and deformity

"I think the best moment is the present moment, and to seize the present is to seize the future, but your Interstellar Court Division coerced me into carrying out Project Paradise......" Mead said, "...... Mr. Judge, we have not violated the interstellar laws, why do you Interstellar Court Division want to destroy our civilization?! ”

“…… I have been observing the civilizations of the various planets in the jurisdiction, and your civilization on the earth is in the era of the explosion of information on the Internet and various media......" said the presiding judge...... You are overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information, the information age has changed the content and meaning of public discourse, and content in any field of public affairs will inevitably be redefined......"

“…… The general expression of free information has become sensationalism, and public discourse has increasingly taken the form of sensationalism, and has even become a cultural spiritual ...... on your planet."

"Does this have anything to do with your desire to destroy Earth's civilization?" Mead asked.

The presiding judge was noncommittal to Mead's question and continued: "...... Once, you earthlings were isolated in their minds and relied mainly on their own intellect to think or judge, but later, you willingly became vassals of grandstanding......"

“…… You want to define the real world with a subtle but powerful hint, but the medium is more like a kind of ****, so that you unconsciously become dependent, and when you become addicted, even if you know that it is wrong, it is difficult for you to take measures to remedy it, because that "poison" has penetrated deep into your soul ......"

"In fact, our mainstream society has always wanted to cultivate objective and rational thinking, and encourage serious, orderly, and logical public discourse!" Mead said, "...... However, with the rise of the Internet and the advent of the self-media era, media such as the Internet and television transmit information instantaneously, and the audience cannot think deeply about its content in a short period of time, losing its basic judgment, making us lose both tradition and thinking, and leading us to the opposite side of culture, such as: entertainment ......"

“…… The prevalence of media such as the Internet and television has greatly squeezed your thinking space, making your way of thinking flat and shallow......" said the presiding judge...... Your modern media convey all kinds of messages, whether serious or light-hearted, big or small, to the audience in a superficial or entertaining way......"

“…… Because that kind of information is more intuitive, simple, bright, and easy to understand, you humans have easily accepted that kind of communication and unconsciously began to rely on it, but it will bring disaster to you humans......" the presiding judge said meaningfully.

"It's a pity that as president, I haven't been able to effectively curb the momentum of the 'degenerate entropy' in the upper world, but I think that civilizations in the universe should have the power to exercise free will,......" Mead responded...... But your Interstellar Court Division has been interfering in the fate of intelligent civilizations behind the scenes......"

“…… We have not interfered with the free evolution and social development of your Earth's civilization, but, foolishly, you have even caused the "Cosmic Dark Demon God Destruction" to flash on your planet......" the Presiding Judge explained, "...... Any planet that has been "destroyed" has not come to a good end, indicating that your civilization has fallen......"

So you want to "cleanse" the Earth's civilization? ”

"That's right, we in the Interstellar Tribunal Division must take steps to purge your civilization and keep a small number of elites to re-breed ......"

"So......" President Mead was about to continue the question, but the presiding judge's voice suddenly disappeared.

…… …… ……

In the high-level world of the 44th century, in the context of the globalized "eyeball economy", some media flickered and used the negative news and private lives of so-called "celebrities" as gimmicks for their own interests.

In addition to the truth, in order to gain more attention, gossip news, foolish and white articles have become a magic weapon for some media to attract the attention of the audience.

In many typical "hot events", the audience is more passively led by the nose by the public media, reporting intermittently, making erratic statements, and sometimes taking things out of context or grasping irrelevant and trivial things to make a fuss, covering up the value and significance of the facts themselves.

What also needs to be reflected on is whether society is too "spoiled" on the so-called "stars"? Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, the essence of "star" is actually "touting the creation of gods", and the essence is caused by the depraved atmosphere of "blind worship of fame and fortune", and people worship not the so-called "star", but "fame and fortune" and other desires.

The so-called "stars" get not only applause and wealth, but also ubiquitous privileges and the irrational star-chasing of some fans, and what is projected behind them is actually the most naked "fame and fortune", which also makes some "stars" feel too good about themselves.

There is also the bottomless hype of some "celebrities" in the 44th century and the promoters behind the scenes, coupled with the promotion of the media, coupled with the psychology of the audience, creating social strange phenomena such as "the more scolded, the more popular".

Some media specifically chased "Meimei" and "Lulu" to report, and some film and television production and broadcasting agencies once singled out those actors who violated the law and immorality, and gave them the green light to appear, become famous, and stand out.

After some "celebrities" have been punished administratively or criminally, when they come out again, they receive more performance notices and higher prices, which is incredible.

The social psychology and the value orientation of the media communication environment behind this strange phenomenon deserve vigilance and reflection.

The news media has the basic functions of disseminating news and information, guiding public opinion, among which the dissemination of information is the most basic function of news, and the news media and their practitioners should be responsible for the news and information disseminated, the audience, and the social effects of dissemination.

However, the media in the 44th century was mired in the "eyeball economy", and professional ethics and professional ethics were clearly insufficient.

In response to this problem, the Xinghai Council has made it clear that there is no privilege at all about what happens to "stars", and it should be treated the same as what happens to ordinary citizens. The media should not deliberately add fuel to the fire and lack moral hype, and the media needs to think rationally and speak out, rather than one-sided and unrestricted excessive attention amplification and hype in order to win attention and traffic.

In the era of the globalized Internet, in which massive amounts of information are disseminated rapidly, the high-level world in the 44th century saw chaos in the spread of mud and sand, mixed fish and dragons, and rumors to confuse the public.

I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain. In fact, before the Interstellar Tribunal Division made the decision to recycle the life energy of the Earth's civilization, the human society in the upper world was already in a deformed atmosphere.
