Control for the common good?


This is a scene from Werner Herzog's encounters on the edge at the world, Werner sum's the scene up with his narration but again it brings me back to Movement and identity.

The penguin's all moving collectively have a proxy identity; informed by a culture, language... semiotics.

Yes it could be called common sense and would be pedantic of me to insist in normal situations that it is anything more, But if we are all occupied by popular culture and common sense then there would be no alternative this is what globalisation is? It is; a VOID it is immobile? and controlling? if it was part of culture that mechanical transport was say... the work of an evil beast... that too would be common sense we wouldn't question it.

Respond to charlie’s “travelling without moving”, yes we really almost can do everything in front of the computer screen now. In Johny Depp’s “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, people able to teleport things through tv, dissolved – transport – resembled. Do you think it will happened? When the time coming, people will not only embark the “journey” on a virtual level anymoreand then only that time government should really be worry isn’t it?

And then about the “second life”, there’s another movie talking about it which I watched it very long time ago(maybe when I was in primary time?), people in the future can sort of inject their soul into internet and wherever the internet can reach, they can access to. All people digitalise their soul and life into the digital world to persuit everlasting life? But in “Matrix”, the government is the main power to control everything and then the whole world living in the ‘not-really-exist’ world. There got no everlasting long life, but human spend whole life time in dream... 'digital restrict' and 'internet control the masse' mentioned by charlie, are those actually the foreseen that we all heading to it?

to lee, yes i think it would be a great idea if we all can watch together. (=

and so sorry that i was sick these few days so that now only got to read the blog.
