How to treat today's pan-entertainment?

I. What are "entertainment" and "pan-entertainment"

First of all, I want to clarify two concepts:

"Entertainment" refers to a way for people to pass the time in their leisure time and is one of the basic spiritual needs. For example, after a busy day at work, I will have a drink with my friends, go home to chat, play games and watch variety shows.

"Pan-entertainment" refers to transforming something that was not originally aimed at entertaining the public into entertaining the public. For example, the news, articles and education mentioned above. News is to convey information to everyone, not to please the audience; The article expresses opinions without grandstanding; Education is to transmit knowledge, not to attract attention.

Second, why did you move from "entertainment" to "pan-entertainment"

In fact, this is a worldwide trend since modern times, and it is the advanced country that many China people yearn for-"the United States" that leads this trend.

1966, American journalists Peter Martin and Halat Schumann first put forward the concept of "nipple reservation" in The Trap of Globalization, which means that people are as happy as babies with nipples.

1995, the United States held a meeting of more than 500 economic and political elites from all over the world, and formally put forward and began to implement the nipple music strategy. The general content is: "With the continuous improvement of productivity and population, only 20% people can produce materials that meet the needs of all people, and 80% people will be marginalized. They don't have to and can't participate in the production and service of products; Because of this, 80% of the wealth is in the hands of another 20%. In order to comfort the "abandoned" people in society and avoid class conflicts, the method prepared by elites is to create a large number of "nipples"-to make people's lives full of addictive entertainment and products full of sensory stimulation (such as internet, TV and games), to divert their attention and dissatisfaction, to immerse them in "happiness" and unconsciously lose the ability to think about real problems. "

After entering the 2 1 century, especially with the opening of intelligent manufacturing (mechanical arms and factory machines replace workers), the entertainment of the whole world is more obvious. Many non-entertainment industries have begun to entertain the audience, and some words reflect this phenomenon, such as "eye-catching" and "title party".

It can be said that due to the continuous development of productivity in 2 1 century, the social environment has changed again: society does not need so many people to engage in direct material production, and more people can only turn to entertainment production (the threshold is relatively low). When the output increases, it is necessary to guide everyone to increase demand, so it is "pan-entertainment".

Third, how to correctly treat "pan-entertainment"?

From the perspective of social development, pan-entertainment will be the inevitable result. After the development of productive forces, social relations will inevitably adapt to it, and there is no need to fear or reject "pan-entertainment" excessively, and nothing will change from the result. For example, I thought it was not good to play games, watch cartoons and so on. But now it has become a huge industry, many people are enjoying it, and many people are living on it.

The appearance of a thing always has its historical significance, and it must be good and bad.

Therefore, for the change of "pan-entertainment", we should try our best to accept it, understand it and finally adapt to it.

I think there are three points:

① From the production side, most products for mass users in the future may be popular, vivid and entertaining.

From the consumption side, I prefer simple and direct pleasure without thinking.

As far as learning is concerned, please remember that entertainment is not suitable for learning and understanding things.

Facing the "pan-entertainment" society, I think as long as I understand the above three points, I can choose the one that suits me best from the moment you start.

Finally, I want to mention a movie, The Matrix.

In fact, the world in the movie is a bit like "pan-entertainment". Human beings do not need material production, but production is carried out by the mother, and human beings are immersed in a huge fantasy game (entertainment) to support the mother.
