Does art imitate life, or does life imitate art? What if we lived in a world where the answer was always the latter? What happens if everything becomes subject to the demands of entertainment? What if journalism, education, politics, and even religion all became based on entertainment and were practised solely for the purpose of more entertainment? What would that world be like? Would it be in any way similar to the world we live in today?
There's a book called Amusing Ourselves To Death, (it doesn't matter if you never heard of it) that takes place in a world with this exact premise. In this club, Leon will share with you the main ideas and a few great passages from this incredible book and we'll have a fascinating discussion!
Written way back in 1985, Amusing Ourselves To Death is a seemingly prophetic book with a fascinating and frighteningly accurate view of the place of entertainment in modern society.
How can we gain control of our media so it can serve our highest goals? What goals is the media serving today? How powerful are online influencers?
Let's have a fascinating and enlightening discussion!
是艺术模仿生活，还是生活模仿艺术?如果我们生活在一个答案永远是后者的世界里呢?如果一切都屈从于娱乐的需求会发生什么?如果新闻、教育、政治甚至宗教都建立在娱乐的基础上，并且仅仅是为了获得更多的娱乐，那会怎么样?那样的世界会是什么样子?它会和我们今天生活的世界有任何相似之处吗?
有一本书叫《娱乐至死》(如果你没听说过也没关系)，它发生在一个完全基于这个前提的世界里。在这个俱乐部里，Leon将与你分享这本不可思议的书的主要思想和一些伟大的段落，我们将有一个有趣的讨论!
早在1985年，《娱乐至死》就像是一本预言性的书，对现代社会的娱乐场所有着迷人而又可怕的准确看法。
我们怎样才能控制我们的媒体，让它为我们的最高目标服务?今天的媒体服务的目标是什么?网络影响者有多强大?
让我们来一场精彩而有启发性的讨论吧!
