A la Jon Tickle!

In caz ca nu stiti cine este Jon Tickle, este acel negru cu ochelari de la Brainiac. Exact, ala! Mai pune el niste intrebari de astea imposibile, gen "Here's one for you, What would happen if everyone was to flush their toilet at the same time?". Astazi ma uitam la o emisiune pe Disc. Science, "Cum functioneaza?", sau ceva de genul.Acolo, au inceput sa vbeasca astia de programele de recunoastere a fetei si despre faptul ca in NY, Londra si alte locuri sunt camere de filmat peste tot pe strazi. Si nu numai la bancomate si in incintele unor diferite institutii, ci chiar pe strada. Acest lucru este un fenomen invaziv asupra intimitatii personale, si de aia fac astia cercetari sa sa schimbe acest lucru(cu programele de face recognition vor astia sa puna automat pe pelicula acele cadre blur peste fetele oamenilor si in caz ca politia ae nevoie de filmari sa se foloseasca un cod anume pentru a "debloca" fetele celor ce apar pe filmare). Bun, materialul s-a terminat zicala, sau ce o fi "Big Brother is watching you!

Reactia mea a fost de genul: "Yeah,right! Mai degraba Uncle Sam!"

Si gandindu-ma mai bine, chiar am descoperit ceva. Ceva de genul "stiati ca", sau "nu-i asa ca e interesant ca", care iti lasa de gandit, exact ca si Jon Tickle questions.

Uncle Sam este tipul ala care instiga baietii americani la ucis.Legal.In armata adica.El reprezinta natiunea americana ca intreg, statul de fapt.Uncle Sam e US. Big Brother se refera la personajul din 1984(nu am citit cartea niciodata, vazut filmul inainte de liceu, deci scuze daca nu e persoanj, dar are functia de personaj), personaj care urmarea tot ceea ce facea omul de rand, prezent in fiecare casa, incinta prin acele televizoare-camere de filmat. Deci, Big Brother era statul, nu?

Hey, wait a minute! I see a pattern here! Ambii sunt de fapt state intregi, si ambii sunt rude! Nu intru in politica sa arat de ce se aseamana US cu un stat opresiv(poate nu fata de cetatenii lui, dar fata de celelalte tari clar). O sa intru in alta discutie.

Big Brother. De ce un stat totalitar si-ar crea o astfel de imagine? De ce familia, ce treaba are cu tata,mama,fratele,bunicu? De ce nu si-au pus un militar falnic, de ce nu a intuit Orwell realitatea si mai mult si sa dezvolte aceasta religie,acest fanatism pentru dictator(avea o denumire anume acest fapt,dar am un lapsus)?La el nu era peste tot poza lui Ceausescu, Stalin sau dictatorul din cartea lui(daca e amintit vreodata) ci poza acelei imagini, fratele mai mare. Pentru ca Orwell inventand ceva si neinspirandu-se din realitate, a gandit prea mult probabil acest fapt. Parerea mea e ca e mai usor de acceptat a FATHER FIGURE, decat a unui strain. Fratele mai mare te iubeste! Si te iubeste atat de mult incat te protejeaza de ce e mai rau, chiar daca asta inseamna sa-ti faca tie rau. Tough love, cum zic americanii! Si astfel accepti mai usor opresiunea dictatoriala, pentru ca "e spre binele tau", statul te iubeste ca un frate mai mare, nu iti vrea raul!

Si acum revin la Uncle Sam. Nu e curios ca si ei au ales sa fie reprezentati de o ruda? Bun, putin mai indeparta, nu e tata sau frate. Dar e unchi. Tot mascul, tot figura autoritara in constiinta populatiei. Nu e ceva curios oare la mijloc? Mie mi se pare cel putin ciudata asemanarea. Nu stiu vreun alt stat sa recurga la o astfel de imagine, si clar nu Unchiul, Tatal, Bunicul Sfatos sau Mama Fertila!
Sper ca v-am dat de gandit la chestia asta. O seara placuta!
