Don’t underestimate highest importance of culture and entertainment, as it is said – “bread and circuses”, 50/50, but actually it’s about 30/70 bread/circuses. Not for nothing even monkeys have a lot of leisure – in the world and in nature in general it is not common to work yourself to zero, leisure is immanent and necessary to every creature.
Man is defined by the information he surrounds himself with and the information that surrounds him.
Professional sports – they create information food, we can’t see it but it is a tangible reality – pieces of information in space. People literally eat information… It’s true that there are different kinds of information diets.
Why do movie celebrities get huge sums of money and ordinary actors get small sums of money? In the essence they might be similar… The answer is simple – recognizability, to attract attention to information. In information flows people cling to familiar faces, familiar objects, as if orienting themselves in space, as a kind of guarantor of certainty, not to lose time. But, sometimes even familiar objects get bored, reduce their reputation, quality, style.
Style is the deepest basis of any essence. If there is a best – it is very stylish. The best is all on style. Style is not just the decoration, the design of an entity, its the conceptual core… not for nothing deep in the very rudiments of its history mankind has already decorated and created information.
The best style and the highest wisdom is simplicity, clarity. Not the simplicity of the primitive, unimaginative, undeveloped, or the simplicity of a fool; but a profound simplicity, when the whole essence has been understood and all the stages have been passed through. The best filtered through.
