 ussion: If  We Judged All On Entertainment Value? </a>\nDoes art imitate 
 life\, or does life imitate art? What if we lived in a world where the ans
 wer was always the latter? What happens if everything becomes subject to t
 he demands of entertainment? What if journalism\, education\, politics\, a
 nd even religion all became based on entertainment and were practised sole
 ly for the purpose of more entertainment? What would that world be like? W
 ould it be in any way similar to the world we live in today? There's a boo
 k called Amusing Ourselves To Death\, (it doesn't matter if you never hear
 d 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 t
 his incredible book and we'll have a fascinating discussion! Written way b
 ack in 1985\, Amusing Ourselves To Death is a seemingly prophetic book wit
 h a fascinating and frighteningly accurate view of the place of entertainm
 ent in modern society. How can we gain control of our media so it can serv
 e our highest goals? What goals is the media serving today? How powerful a
 re online influencers? Let's have a fascinating and enlightening discussio
 n! 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!
